Makes sense. Head scratchers do occur.

Just an example of two random chest X-rays I pulled up just now. On the bottom of each is the abnormality score rated by an AI. One was completely normal. The other showed a bilateral pneumonia. Those would be seen easily anyway. The tricky ones are the small nodules which can be missed and may be early lung cancer. And it works. We have picked up otherwise occult cancers missed by the radiologist.

I'm no photon-shooter, but that one's pretty obvious.

whatever

in the meantime, im not that far away from retirement, when i come into the the ER with my congestive heart failure or pneumonia, i presume the AI will be all there is.

I thought he problem was that he was see through
Doctors get so serious about this stuff.

@bachophile said in Today's medical mysterie.:
every one of our chest X-rays in my institution (must be hundreds a day) undergo AI reading in addition to being read by a radiologist. This has resulted in numerous call backs for CTs because of missed small lesions susp for lung cancer.
Yes in breast imaging also pretty sharp but we don’t have that incorporated automatically like chest films.
We also are beginning to use AI in pathology slide readings.I wonder if our spanky new oh so supposedly awesome Cancer Centre uses this technology? Ever think of an interim pre-retirement move? I’m sure we’d really appreciate you here @bachophile

Oh, negate my last comment. You don’t want to die here. Truly.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@George-K yea I did my surg onc fellowship in Calgary. Loved it.
my institution invests a lot in innovation ( we r number 10 in worlds smart hospitals https://www.newsweek.com/rankings/worlds-best-smart-hospitals-2025. )
So we have lots of things like AI stuff in various disciplines

OK, doc...
Let's ask AI:
-
Ugg. The guy has gas forming bacteria in his arm. If he doesn’t get debrided soon he will go into septic shock, lose his arm, and probably his life.

Exactly. Even I saw it.
And, as far as AI goes, there’s no fracture. Nice jog, Grok.
