Can AI outperform radiologists in detecting lung issues? New study weighs in

New study in Radiology evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of four AI tools in detecting common acute findings on chest radiographs. While AI tools showed moderate to high sensitivity and strong negative predictive values, they had higher false-positive rates compared to traditional radiology reports.
