The FDA-approved tool works by reprioritizing CTPA exams to the top of a radiologist’s work list when the scan is positive for PE.

These are factors that healthcare systems can and should control, experts recently suggested in a new JACR paper.

Radiologists used an AI tool-building platform to create their model(s), which allows clinicians the opportunity to develop AI models without any prior training in data sciences or computer programming. 

In a study that included hundreds of radiologist recommendations for additional imaging, there was a threefold increase in follow-up adherence when radiologists utilized a voluntary closed-loop communication tool that required structured recommendations. 

The generated report included indication, findings laid out numerically, TNM stage, impression and follow-up recommendations.

The continued emergence of natural language processing has caught the eye of experts in the field, with some suggesting its use could streamline the process of integrating structured reporting across the specialty. 

A new meta-analysis suggests that when it comes to hip fractures, AI algorithms do not always live up to their hype.
