Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News - New research on Artificial Intelligenc e is the subject of a report. According tonews reporting originating from Barce lona, Spain, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “To assessthe ability o f an artificial intelligence software to detect pneumothorax in chest radiograph s done afterpercutaneous transthoracic biopsy. We included retrospectively in o ur study adult patients who underwentCT-guided percutaneous transthoracic biops ies from lung, pleural or mediastinal lesions from June 2019to June 2020, and w ho had a follow-up chest radiograph after the procedure.”Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from University Hospital Val l d’Hebron, “Thesechest radiographs were read to search the presence of pneumot horax independently by an expert thoracicradiologist and a radiodiagnosis resid ent, whose unified lecture was defined as the gold standard, and theresult of e ach radiograph after interpretation by the artificial intelligence software was documented forposterior comparison with the gold standard. A total of 284 chest radiographs were included in the studyand the incidence of pneumothorax was 14 .4%. There were no discrepancies between the two readers’interpret ation of any of the postbiopsy chest radiographs. The artificial intelligence so ftware was ableto detect 41/41 of the present pneumothorax, implying a sensitiv ity of 100% and a negative predictivevalue of 100%, with a specificity of 79.4% and a positive predictive value of 45% . The accuracy was82.4%, indicating that there is a high probabili ty that an individual will be adequately classified by thesoftware. It has also been documented that the presence of Port-a-cath is the cause of 8 of the 50 of falsepositives by the software. The software has detected 100% o f cases of pneumothorax in the postbiopsychest radiographs.”
