Radiologists deem AI x-ray reports clinically acceptable

A group in South Korea has validated an AI model for generating chest x-ray reports in an experiment involving three clinical contexts, with more than 85% of the reports deemed acceptable, according to a study published September 23 in Radiology.

The model’s reports had similar acceptability to radiologist-written reports as determined by a panel of thoracic radiologists, wrote lead author Eui Jin Hwang, MD, PhD, of Seoul National University Hospital, and colleagues.
