    To open the black box of decisions, we decided to copy humans and use language. We train a system to mimic the important parts of radiology reports and show that doctors prefer this text over widely used visualisation methods. Blog post:

    Summit has been a great venue to understand how RSNA can catalyze the use of AI in for multiple stakeholders. Look for the white paper on this topic coming out in the new Radiology:AI journal in a few months!

    If you’re interested in AI research, this is a must read. It’s a thoughtful commentary explaining recent progress. “Recent developments tell us more about the problems tackled & the structure of our world than about neural networks per se”

    The biggest statistical problem lies with assuming the human is perfect. Human-model PPV diff is 0.88 in the paper. If the human overcalled one case it would be 0.44, with 2 overcalled it is zero. Assuming a human spec of 90%, at least one overcall would occur ~ 20% of the time.

    To be clear, since it always comes up, I actually like the study. The effort required to apply a model like this in a clinical environment is no joke. But I'm skeptical of the numbers, and more skeptical of the discussion. Not convinced. Like most topics, more research needed.

    But et al (JAMA, 2016) found individual ophthalmologists to have a specificity around 92% (compared against a panel of experts), exactly the same as the model in this study. So humans probably have a PPV of 12% as well!

    The baseline in this case was a single expert interpretation, which precludes any assessment of how humans might perform at the task. Since humans are the baseline, they are assumed to be perfect.

    In this paper specificity was 92% (pretty good), and PPV was 12% (sounds bad, right?). But even if the specificity was 99%, the PPV would still have been only 50%! That is the problem with low prevalence disease, and screening in general.

    Interesting facts about this study: Sensitivity could have been one of three values. 0%, 50%, or 100%. They found it was 100%.

    Is anyone else a bit flabbergasted that we have been heavily discussing a study with results based on a cohort which only contains 2 patients with referable retinopathy?

    About to kick off the course on in Paris. I'm up first, with a light-hearted introduction to modern AI.
