Implementation of Machine Learning Software on the Radiology Worklist Decreases Scan View Delay for the Detection of Intracranial Hemorrhage on CT

Materials & Methods

Cases analyzed by Aidoc (Tel Aviv, Israel) software for triaging acute intracranial hemorrhage cases on non-contrast head CT were retrospectively reviewed. The scan view delay time was calculated as the difference between the time the study was completed on PACS and the time the study was first opened by a radiologist. The scan view delay was stratified by scan location, including emergency, inpatient, and outpatient. The scan view delay times for cases flagged as positive by the software were compared to those that were not flagged.

Results

A total of 8,723 scans were assessed by the software, including 6,894 cases that were not flagged and 1,829 cases that were flagged as positive. Although there was no statistically significant difference in the scan view time for emergency cases, there was a significantly lower scan view time for positive outpatient and inpatient cases flagged by the software versus negative cases, with a reduction of 604 min. on average, 90% in the scan view delay (p-value < 0.0001) for outpatients, and a reduction of 38 min. on average, and 10% in the scan view delay (p-value <= 0.01) for inpatients.

Conclusions

The use of artificial intelligence triage software for acute ICH on head CT scans is associated with a significantly shorter scan view delay for cases flagged as positive than cases not flagged among outpatients and inpatients at an academic medical center.
