AI Improves Lung Nodule Detection on Chest X-rays

Caption

Images in a 60-year-old woman who underwent chest radiography for health checkup purposes and was allocated to the artificial intelligence (AI) group. (A) Frontal chest radiograph shows a subtle nodular opacity (arrow) in the right middle lung zone. (B) The lesion was detected by the AI-based computer-aided detection software, with an abnormality probability of 81.1%. The designated radiologist reported this chest radiograph as positive. (C) Axial, noncontrast, low-dose chest CT scan shows a 1.1-cm solid nodule (arrow) in the right lower lobe. The patient underwent percutaneous needle biopsy, and the nodule was confirmed to be adenocarcinoma.
