A study of more than 32,000 CTPA scans found that artificial intelligence and physicians agreed on pulmonary embolism results nearly 98% of the time, though human review caught cases the software missed.<\/h2>\n

RT\u2019s Three Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. High Concordance Rates<\/strong>: An artificial intelligence algorithm for detecting pulmonary embolism matched radiologist interpretations in 97.8% of more than 32,000 scans performed in a real-world healthcare system.<\/li>\n
  2. Critical Physician Oversight<\/strong>: While the artificial intelligence tool assisted in triage, radiologists identified 15% of confirmed cases that the software missed, highlighting the importance of human-in-the-loop interpretation.<\/li>\n
  3. Urgent Case Reliability<\/strong>: The agreement between the technology and physicians was highest for acute and central emboli, which are the conditions associated with the greatest mortality risk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    An artificial intelligence (Ai) algorithm for pulmonary embolism (PE) detection demonstrated 97.8% agreement with radiologist interpretations in a large study of more than 32,000 Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) scans, according to a study published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n

    Researchers from Northwell Health analyzed 32,501 CTPAs performed across an integrated healthcare system over an 18-month period. The study found that concordance was higher for negative exams than positive exams, at 98.18% and 93.75%, respectively.<\/p>\n

    PE is a life-threatening cardiovascular condition responsible for 5% to 10% of in-hospital deaths and more than 300,000 deaths annually in the US. While several FDA cleared Ai tools are available, the researchers noted that few large-scale studies have evaluated their performance in real-world clinical practice using a human-in-the-loop model.<\/p>\n

    In the study, the Ai algorithm, developed by AIDOC, analyzed CTPAs and flagged suspected positive cases to assist radiologists with triage. When the Ai and radiologists disagreed, expert…<\/p>\n
