Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to systematically review the use of automated detection systems for identifying bone lesions based on CT and MRI, focusing on advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
Materials and methods: A literature search was conducted on PubMed and MEDLINE. Data were extracted and grouped into three main categories, namely baseline study characteristics, model validation strategies, and the type of AI algorithms.
Results: A total of 10 studies were selected and analyzed, including 2,768 patients overall with a median of 187 per study. These studies utilized various AI algorithms, predominantly deep learning models (6 studies) such as Convolutional Neural Networks. Among machine learning validation strategies, K-fold cross-validation was the mostly used (5 studies). Clinical validation was performed using data from the same institution (internal testing) in 8 studies and from both the same and different (external testing) institutions in 1 study, respectively.
Conclusion: AI, particularly deep learning, holds significant promise in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, the review highlights several limitations, such as the lack of standardized validation methods and the limited use of external datasets for testing. Future research should address these gaps to ensure the reliability and applicability of AI-based detection systems in clinical settings.
期刊介绍:
Felice Perussia founded La radiologia medica in 1914. It is a peer-reviewed journal and serves as the official journal of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). The primary purpose of the journal is to disseminate information related to Radiology, especially advancements in diagnostic imaging and related disciplines. La radiologia medica welcomes original research on both fundamental and clinical aspects of modern radiology, with a particular focus on diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques. It also covers topics such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiobiology, health physics, and artificial intelligence in the context of clinical implications. The journal includes various types of contributions such as original articles, review articles, editorials, short reports, and letters to the editor. With an esteemed Editorial Board and a selection of insightful reports, the journal is an indispensable resource for radiologists and professionals in related fields. Ultimately, La radiologia medica aims to serve as a platform for international collaboration and knowledge sharing within the radiological community.
