AI improves lung cancer detection on chest radiographs

In a reader study, researchers led by Chang Min Park, MD, PhD, of Seoul National University College of Medicine in South Korea, found the use of high-accuracy AI improved reader performance to a greater extent than low-accuracy AI and also led to more frequent changes in reader determinations — a concept known as susceptibility.

“We think this issue of human trust in AI is what we observed in the susceptibility in this study: humans are more susceptible to AI when using high diagnostic performance AI,” Park said, in a news release from RSNA.

Despite substantial advances in AI-based…
