ObjectivesTo assess whether an artificial intelligence (AI) chest radiograph (CXR) tool could enhance lung cancer detection on primary care-referred CXRs in the UK, and to estimate the magnitude of any improvement. MethodsFrom [~]280,000 primary care-referred CXRs, we identified 1,600 linked to a lung cancer diagnosis (ICD-10 C34) within six months. Missed lung cancers were defined by review of the CXR report and comparison of diagnostic CT and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with th...
