Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Chest X-rays are the most commonly performed diagnostic examinations. An artificial intelligence (AI) system that evaluates the images fast and accurately help reducing workflow and management of the patients. An automated assistant may reduce the time of interpretation in daily practice. We aim to investigate whether radiology residents consider the recommendations of an AI system for their final decisions, and to assess the diagnostic performances of the residents and the AI system.
