Radiology makes up the vast majority of FDA-cleared AI algorithms, but with minimal or no reimbursement, hospital administrators may ask whether AI’s value justifies its expense.

The FDA-approved tool works by reprioritizing CTPA exams to the top of a radiologist’s work list when the scan is positive for PE.

These are factors that healthcare systems can and should control, experts recently suggested in a new JACR paper.

Radiologists used an AI tool-building platform to create their model(s), which allows clinicians the opportunity to develop AI models without any prior training in data sciences or computer programming. 

In a study that included hundreds of radiologist recommendations for additional imaging, there was a threefold increase in follow-up adherence when radiologists utilized a voluntary closed-loop communication tool that required structured recommendations. 

When should a clinician tell a patient they have a gene variant that appeared incidentally but may have ramifications for cardiovascular health?

Only 65% of patients actually receive recommended additional imaging in this setting, with a median turnaround time of 50 days, according to a new study.

The generated report included indication, findings laid out numerically, TNM stage, impression and follow-up recommendations.
