Data
- Consecutive data of limb x-rays from the emergency department over 1 year
- 4475 patients in total
Design
- Retrospective study
- Only examining radiographs with discrepancies between the AI results and the ED physician’s diagnosis
- Emergency physicians re-evaluated the discrepant radiographs with AI assistance
Ground truth:
- Concordance between AI and report
- In the event of discrepancies, adjudication by a radiologist
Results
- 603 discordant cases
- 282 = confirmed fractures
- 220 were not identified by the emergency physician and 62 were correctly identified
Proportion of fractures missed by the ED physician without AI VS Proportion of fractures missed by the ED physician with AI
78.0% VS 45.3%
- Diagnostic error rate decreased by 41.9% with AI assistance
