AI vs. radiologists: can computers spot lung nodules better?
NCT ID NCT06597968
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an AI tool can accurately detect lung nodules on chest X-rays. About 46,000 chest X-rays will be analyzed by both AI and radiologists to see how well they agree. The goal is to see if AI can help speed up and improve the detection of potentially serious lung nodules.
