Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to implement and evaluate a quality assurance (QA) workflow that leverages natural language processing to rapidly resolve inadvertent discordance between radiologists and an artificial intelligence (AI) decision support system (DSS) in the interpretation of high-acuity CT studies when the radiologist does not engage with AI DSS output.
