AI Improves Lung Nodule Detection on Chest X-rays

Caption

Images in a 73-year-old man who underwent chest radiography and low-dose CT for health checkup purposes and was allocated to the non–artificial intelligence (AI) group. (A) Frontal chest radiograph shows a small nodular opacity (arrow) in the left upper lung zone, which was missed by the designated reporting radiologist. (B) Axial, noncontrast, low-dose chest CT scan shows a 9-mm solid nodule (arrow) in the left upper lobe. The nodule showed low metabolism at PET and decreased in size at follow-up CT. It was confirmed to be an inflammatory nodule.
