How effective is AI for detecting PE on CTPA studies?
By Kate Madden Yee
The use of an AI triage system to detect any pulmonary embolism (PE) on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) studies decreases patient wait times, but it doesn't improve radiologist accuracy, miss rate, or exam and report turnaround times.

Ga-68 ABY-025 PET/CT and F-18 FDG-PET/CT images at baseline with F-18 FDG PET/CT follow-up after two cycles of treatment in biopsy-confirmed HER2-positive disease. (A) Patient with high Ga-68 ABY-025 uptake (SUVmax, 21), who previously received three lines of treatment. F-18 FDG-PET/CT follow-up showed complete metabolic response. (B) Patient with low uptake (SUVmax, 5.4), who previously received three lines of treatment. F-18 FDG PET/CT follow-up showed disease progression (a 68% increase in tumor glycolysis) despite HER2-targeted treatment. (C) Patient with heterogeneous Ga-68 ABY-025 uptake, who previously received seven lines of treatment. F-18 FDG-PET/CT follow-up showed heterogeneous response, with lesions higher in Ga-68 ABY-025 uptake tending to have better response. Arrows indicate biopsy sites.
