Does an artificial neural network improve the prediction of pulmonary embolism from ventilation-perfusion lung scans and chest radiographs compared to physicians?
An artificial neural network significantly outperformed physicians in diagnosing acute pulmonary embolism from ventilation-perfusion scans and chest radiographs.
Tourassi et al. (1993) studied this question.
