Artificial intelligence improves diagnosis of invisible airway blockages

Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can spot hard-to-see objects lodged in patients' airways better than expert radiologists.

AI Outperforms Radiologists in Detecting Hidden Objects on Chest Scans

In a groundbreaking advancement at the intersection of artificial intelligence and medical imaging, researchers at the University of Southampton have engineered an AI-powered diagnostic tool capable of detecting subtle foreign objects lodged within patients’ airways with unprecedented accuracy. These objects, often invisible even to expert radiologists upon routine CT scans, present a formidable clinical challenge due to their radiolucent nature…
