| Radiology residents are able to adequately detect an abnormal chest x-ray (CXR) from a normal one, according to research published in Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, but the demographic lacks a theoretical background in CXR that would improve those residents’ abilities to make an accurate diagnosis.

| With few exceptions, the most attention-demanding discussions about how and when artificial intelligence will transform radiology have been led by—and largely held within—the academic sector. That’s not surprising, given that teaching radiologists are the ones doing the research, blazing the trails and comparing the notes.
