Eye-Tracking study reveals whether AI should speak first or second in chest X-Ray reading
NCT ID NCT07675694
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study investigates whether showing artificial intelligence (AI) results before or after a clinician first looks at a chest X-ray affects how they search the image, how accurate their diagnosis is, and how much they trust the AI. Healthcare professionals will wear eye-tracking glasses while reviewing de-identified chest X-rays in two sessions—one where AI output appears first, and one where it appears after their initial review. The goal is to understand the best way to integrate AI support into medical imaging without harming decision-making or efficiency.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help design AI tools that better support doctors' decision-making without slowing them down or reducing trust.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 24 participants in a controlled setting, not real clinical practice. Results may not apply broadly.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: Main reader study: * Healthcare professionals aged 18 years or over * Registered to practise in the UK * Employed by the NHS or another healthcare service operating in the UK * Current or recent, within the last 3 years, clinical experience involving chest X-ray interpretation, review, or use in clinical practice * Able to attend two onsite study sessions at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust at mutually agreed times * Able and willing to provide written informed consent * Compatible with the eye-tracking equipment Supplementary survey: * Adults aged 18 years or over * Live in the UK or have used the NHS or another UK healthcare service within the last 5 years * Able to provide informed electronic consent * Belong to one of the following respondent groups: healthcare professionals or healthcare staff, patients or carers, or members of the public * Healthcare professional respondents may include adults involved in requesting, interpreting, checking, or acting on chest X-ray findings in clinical practice Exclusion Criteria: Main reader study: * Inability to attend both onsite study sessions at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust * Eye-tracking incompatibility, such as visual, neurological, or physical conditions preventing adequate gaze tracking or participant comfort * Direct involvement in selection, adjudication, or preparation of the chest X-rays used in the study * Conflicts of interest, including direct involvement in development of the AI system under evaluation * Prior participation in a closely related AI chest X-ray study where overlap in image sets or study procedures may compromise validity, assessed on a case-by-case basis Supplementary survey: * Aged under 18 years * Does not live in the UK and has not used the NHS or another UK healthcare service within the last 5 years * Unable to provide informed electronic consent * Does not meet one of the eligible respondent groups for the survey
