A prospective cohort study involving 23,960 radiographs at a tertiary academic health system assessed the impact of generative AI on radiology reporting. The study found that radiologists completed reports 15% faster with AI assistance without compromising diagnostic accuracy. Mean documentation time improved to 160 seconds per report, with no significant difference in clinical outcomes or report integrity. The AI system achieved 72.7% sensitivity for identifying clinically significant pneumothorax, demonstrating rapid prioritization capabilities. This research highlights the potential of AI in enhancing radiological efficiency and accuracy.
1. Study evaluated AI integration at a tertiary academic health system. 2. 23,960 radiographs were interpreted with and without AI. 3. AI assistance improved report completion time by 15%. 4. 99.9% specificity in detecting pneumothorax was achieved. 5. Mean documentation time with AI was 160 seconds. 6. No significant difference in clinical accuracy between AI-assisted and traditional reports. 7. AI flagged clinically significant issues within 24 seconds.
