  • Context: Incidental pulmonary emboli (IPE) are often overlooked in imaging performed for other reasons. AI-based detection tools aim to enhance accuracy.
  • Study: In 14 453 CT scans from 9 171 patients, a commercial AI algorithm was retrospectively compared with radiologist interpretations.
  • Findings: AI identified 36 missed IPEs but also generated 94 false positives and missed 30 radiologist-detected cases. Combined AI + human review yielded the highest overall detection, reinforcing that AI augments rather than replaces radiologists.”
