An artificial intelligence tool for detecting incidental pulmonary embolus on conventional contrast-enhanced chest CT had high negative predictive value and moderate positive predictive value for detection, researchers reported.
Moreover, the AI tool even found some incidental PEs that were missed by radiologists, according to a press release.
“AI algorithms for PE detection on CT pulmonary angiography examinations have shown high diagnostic performance, with a sensitivity of 92% for segmental PE and 90% for subsegmental PE,” Kiran Batra, MD, assistant professor of radiology at the
