Study highlights overconfidence in medical decision-making
By Liz Carey
Researchers expose metacognitive commonalities and differences between experienced radiologists and nonradiologists.

Bar graphs show mean success (blue) and confidence (orange) according to diagnostic response (lesion present or absent, shown as “present” and “absent,” respectively) and next-step decision (submit, additional tests, and consult a senior) for each group (radiologists and nonradiologists). Error bars indicate standard errors of the mean. Lesion-absent diagnoses were more prone to error and overconfidence than were lesion-present diagnoses.

Overlap between manual (radiologist) and semiautomatic (algorithm) segmentations of hand joints on a standard posteroanterior radiograph. Orange overlay indicates manual radiologist segmentations, blue overlay shows algorithm segmentations, and green overlay indicates consistent regions between both methods.

Cropped secondary capture examples. These are illustrative and not intended to imply superiority or inferiority of any device. (A) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 46-year-old female patient. The device correctly identified a right lower lobe nodule projected below the right hemidiaphragm and hilar lymphadenopathy. (B) Posteroanterior radiograph in an 86-year-old female patient with a classic Golden S sign highly suggestive of cancer. Three devices did not identify any findings. (C) The output from one device for the same radiograph as in B. The device placed a contour around the area of abnormality but mislabeled it as segmental collapse, and there are no other elements in the output to raise suspicion of cancer. (D) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 60-year-old male patient -- a case of confirmed lung cancer that was not deemed visible in retrospect. The device identified multiple false-positive abnormalities. (E) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 77-year-old female patient with two right lower lobe nodules. The device mislabeled the abnormality as infection -- a diagnostic term that could incorrectly influence clinical management. (F) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 77-year-old female patient with a right hilar tumor. Most of the lungs have been labeled by the device, with excessive overlap of the abnormality that pragmatically represents an incorrect result. All annotations shown were produced by the devices. LL = lung lesion, LO = lung opacity, PO = pleural other, TBC = tuberculosis.
Combined fluoride and lead exposure reduces bone health in youth
