Deep learning-based automated detection of pulmonary embolism on CT pulmonary angiograms: No significant effects on report communication times and patient turnaround in the emergency department nine months after technical implementation

Abstract: Rapid communication of CT exams positive for pulmonary embolism (PE) is crucial for timely initiation of anticoagulation and patient outcome. It is unknown if deep learning automated detection of PE on CT Pulmonary Angiograms (CTPA) in combination with worklist prioritization and an electronic notification system (ENS) can improve communication times and patient turnaround in the Emergency Department (ED). Methods: In 01/2019, an ENS allowing direct communication between radiology and ED was installed. Startin… Show more

“…Such automatization provides the opportunity for future training and validation on much larger data sets. A critical factor for the successful implementation of artificial intelligence systems into hospital workflows besides factors such as integration into the local standard operating procedures and clinical systems is a high robustness and reliability to establish the necessary trust into AI systems [39]. The LRP analysis presented here is able to generate a graphical analysis of the decision relevant areas of the network in the images and therefore, could be used for validation.…”

“…AI improved the sensitivity of physicians by 9% and the specificity by 4% and reduced the average number of false-positive fractures per patient by 42% and mean reading time by 15%. Schmuelling et al [31] assessed the impact of a triage system that detected and alerted radiologists about ED cases with suspected pulmonary embolism on CT angiograms. While the study demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 80%, specificity 95%, PPV 82%, and NPV 94%), there was no effect on report communication times and patient turnaround 9-months post-implementation.…”

“…Moreover, the neural network has high inclusiveness and scalability, which can continuously expand data processing capacity by increasing the number of hidden layers. In addition, the neural network has enormous development potential embedded in its continuous improvement by optimization algorithms, which empower the network with different functions and adaptability to different sample data and application scenarios (Schmuelling et al, 2021). With the constant expansion of the application field of DL, the neural network will further enlarge the application range.…”
