Artificial intelligence–assisted training for rib fracture interpretation: a prospective study in undergraduate medical students

YTYu-San TeeCLChien-An LiaoLKLing-Wei Kuo

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the impact of AI-assisted training on diagnostic performance in rib fracture detection among undergraduate medical students.
  • Prospective study design
  • Involvement of undergraduate medical students
  • Training using AI-assisted tools for rib fracture interpretation
  • Assessment of diagnostic confidence and performance
  • Evaluation of skill retention after AI withdrawal
  • Significant enhancement in early diagnostic performance for rib fractures
  • Increased confidence in rib fracture detection
  • Partial retention of skills after removing AI assistance
  • Need for strategies to counteract automation bias

Abstract

AI-assisted training significantly enhances early diagnostic performance and confidence in rib fracture detection on chest radiographs, a key competency in trauma and emergency care, with partial skill retention after AI withdrawal. Integrating AI into early trauma imaging training may strengthen radiology training but requires strategies to mitigate automation bias and foster independent judgment.
