AI demonstrates higher accuracy than radiologists in predicting lung cancer treatment response from imaging.
Key Details
- 1Study is a meta-analysis of 11 retrospective studies comparing AI and radiologists for treatment response prediction.
- 2AI achieved a sensitivity of 0.90, specificity of 0.80, and accuracy of 0.90.
- 3Risk difference favored AI by 0.06 for sensitivity and 0.04 for specificity.
- 4Outcomes were modality-dependent, impacting the magnitude of AI's advantage.
Why It Matters
Improved prediction of treatment response could lead to more effective, personalized cancer care and alter clinical decision workflows. The results support the increasing role of AI in enhancing the accuracy of imaging-based assessments in oncology.
