Article on canine thoracic radiographs classification published in Scientific Reports

Our recent work on “An AI-based algorithm for the automatic evaluation of image quality in canine thoracic radiographs” has been published in Scientific Reports (Nature).

The aim of this study was to develop and test an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm for detecting common technical errors in canine thoracic radiography. More specifically, the algorithm was designed to classify the images as correct or having one or more of the following errors: rotation, underexposure, overexposure, incorrect limb positioning, incorrect neck positioning, blurriness, cut-off, or the presence of foreign objects, or medical devices. The algorithm was able to correctly identify errors in thoracic radiographs with an overall accuracy of 81.5% in latero-lateral and 75.7% in sagittal images.
