Four examples of remarkable chest X-rays with missed critical findings. (A) Chest X-ray in a 49-year-old female patient shows a slightly visible acute rib fracture (arrow) that was missed by the AI at all thresholds and also missed by the radiology report. (B) Chest X-ray in a 30-year-old female patient shows enlarged hilar lymph nodes (arrows) missed by the radiology report but not the AI at any threshold. (C) Chest X-ray in a 67-year-old female patient shows a tumor mimicking pleural plaque (arrow) that was reported in the radiology report (where the patient was referred for CT) and missed by the AI at the 98.0% threshold but not the 99.0% and 99.9% thresholds. (D) Chest X-ray in a 64-year-old male patient shows a central venous catheter possibly entering the azygos vein (arrows), which was classified as unremarkable in the radiology report. The AI missed the critical finding at the 98.0% threshold but not the 99.0% and 99.9% thresholds.
