Radiologists Outsmart AI in Spotting Lung Disease

In a clinical study with over 2,000 chest X-rays, radiologists demonstrated superior performance to AI in identifying lung diseases. While AI exhibited moderate to high sensitivity, it generated more false positives than radiologists, particularly in cases with multiple findings. The study’s conclusion emphasized that AI should not autonomously diagnose lung diseases but rather function as an assisting tool to support radiologists in chest X-ray interpretation.
