Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Radiographic findings of COVID-19 pneumonia can be used for patient risk stratification; however, radiologist reporting of disease severity is inconsistent on chest radiographs (CXRs). We aimed to see if an artificial intelligence (AI) system could help improve radiologist interrater agreement.
