Abstract

The goal of this study was to perform a pilot study to assess user-interface of radiologists with an artificial-intelligence (AI) centric workflow for detection of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and cervical spine fractures (CSFX). Over 12-month period, interaction and usage of AI software implemented in our institution, Aidoc, on head and cervical spine CT scans were obtained. Several interaction variables were defined, assessing different types of interaction between readers of different training level and AI software. The median usage of AI-centric workflow for detection of ICH and CSFX were 28.8% and 21.8%, respectively, demonstrating a significant additional engagement beyond Native workflow (worklist and PACS). Further studies are warranted to expand interaction assessments to further understand the value unlocked by the AI-centric workflows.
