If there is one medical exam that everyone in the world has taken, it's a chest x-ray. Clinicians can use radiographs to tell if someone has tuberculosis, lung cancer, or other diseases, but they can't use them to tell if the lungs are functioning well.
Osaka Metropolitan UniversityJul 8 2024 If there is one medical exam that everyone in the world has taken, it's a chest x-ray. Clinicians can use radiographs to tell if someone has tuberculosis, lung cancer , or other diseases, but they can't use them to tell if the lungs are functioning well.
Professor Ueda and the research group trained, validated, and tested the AI model using over 140,000 chest radiographs from a nearly 20-year period. They compared the actual spirometric data to the AI model's estimates to fine-tune its performance. The results showed a remarkably high agreement rate, with a Pearson's correlation coefficient of more than 0.90, indicating that the method is sufficiently promising for practical use.
