What AI Can See in CT Scans That Humans Can't

[@S--s-e-a]

I actually really appreciate what the scientists did in this study. While an AI "let loose" on a data set may do a better job at predicting, we wouldn't necessarily know WHY it thinks that. Something like this "middleman" AI allows humans to better stay in the loop. I'd imagine there are a decent chunk of ways to try to affect body composition!

There was a similar study done (I forgot which paper) and the AI was picking up the model of the CT machine used and accurately predicting outcomes. The only reason the model of the CT was relevant was because certain hospitals using older models happened to be acute care facilities or something to that effect.

Malpractice insurance reasons probably impacts it as well. And not to overwhelm doctors with information, I think letting it loose would be good, and then having it give an expert level suggestion while leaving out details, treating it exactly as it should be treated, a non-explanatory heuristic.
