Deep learning model could help identify high-risk patients with community-acquired pneumonia

According to an accepted manuscript published in ARRS' own American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), a deep learning-based model using initial chest radiographs predicted 30-day mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), improving upon the performance of an established risk prediction tool (i.e., CURB-65 score).
