AI Accurately Identifies Normal and Abnormal Chest X-rays (IMAGE)
Caption
Four examples (out of a total of nine) of X-rays classified as “abnormal, unremarkable” by the reference standard (provided independently by two board-certified thoracic radiologists, with a third radiologist in cases of disagreement) but as normal by the AI tool. All X-rays show very subtle and unremarkable findings; these X-rays were all classified as normal by the clinical radiologic report as well. (A) X-ray in a 58-year-old woman with very discrete linear atelectasis in the lingula segment of the left upper lobe (arrow). (B) X-ray in a 61-year-old woman shows presence of a cervical rib on the right side (arrow). (C, D) Images in a 48-year-old woman (C) and 64-year-old woman (D) show very subtle degeneration in the spine with osteophytes in lower thoracic segments (arrow).
