A modified AI tool can autonomously triage prostate MRI scans, decreasing radiologists' workload by up to 20%.
Key Details
- 1Prostate MRI use is rising due to better cancer detection and reduced need for biopsies.
- 2Radiologist workloads are increasing, especially for serial MRI follow-ups.
- 3Researchers adjusted an established AI algorithm for prostate MRI by adding uncertainty quantification (UQ) thresholds.
- 4AI can now 'rule out' low-uncertainty cases autonomously, sending only uncertain cases to radiologists.
- 5This new workflow led to a 20% reduction in the number of cases radiologists have to interpret.
