Proposal:

Use off-the-shelf image models to predict the "educational value" of chest x-rays and route high educational value studies to residents

Mentored by the
Walter Witschey Lab

Research Year Project Goal:

Explore and document the capabilities of artificial intelligence in radiology

Explore how humans interact with artificial intelligence in a deployed scenario

Why?

Use off-the-shelf image models to predict the "educational value" of chest x-rays and route high educational value studies to residents

Explore and document the capabilities of artificial intelligence in radiology

Why?

Use off-the-shelf image models to predict the "educational value" of chest x-rays and route high educational value studies to residents

Explore how humans interact with artificial intelligence in a deployed scenario

Stage 1: Retrospective analysis of PMBB data to determine the capabilities of open models

Stage 2: Depending on capabilities of open models, work with the chest department and AI Insights Infra to deploy the routing platform

Stage 3: Create HCI/HAII experiments making use of the platform

Stage 1: Model Retrospective Analysis

How to define "educational value"

- By list of important diagnoses

- By list of rare diagnoses

- By list of diagnoses individualized to that resident that the resident hasn't yet seen

- By diagnosis/finding individualized to the resident that they had missed in the past

Take advantage of our Macro-X system to filter for studies that have "Great Call" "Major Change" "Minor Change" "Notification"
