New Open-Source AI aims to speed up chest X-Ray reports
NCT ID NCT07117266
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new AI system (Janus Pro 1B-CXR) designed to help radiologists interpret chest X-rays. The AI was developed using public data and evaluated in 296 patients with suspected chest diseases. Researchers compared report quality, reading time, and agreement between junior radiologists using the AI and those working without it. The goal is to see if this low-cost, open-source AI can improve efficiency and accuracy in clinical practice, especially in areas with a shortage of radiologists.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI system (Janus Pro 1B-CXR) for chest X-ray interpretation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI could help radiologists work faster and more accurately, especially in areas with few specialists, potentially improving diagnosis of chest diseases like pneumonia or lung cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study (296 participants) testing a new AI model. The AI may not perform as well in real-world settings or with different patient groups, and it hasn't been compared to other advanced AI systems in routine practice.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. clinically suspected thoracic diseases (such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, or lung cancer) requiring CXR-assisted diagnosis; 2. patients providing written informed consent for research data use; 3. complete clinical records (including chief complaints, medical history, and laboratory test results); 4. patients with no historical chest X-ray images and no need for comparison with previous chest X-ray images; 5. Patients who underwent only posteroanterior (PA) chest X-rays without lateral chest X-rays. Exclusion Criteria: 1. substandard CXR image quality (including severe motion artifacts, over-/underexposure, or missing anatomical structures); 2. pregnant or lactating women.
