Workflow Diagram
Task
The AI system reviews chest X-rays and flags risks and locations for the radiologist.
Intent
The aims of the AI system are to increase speed and accuracy of screening and to prioritize highest-risk patients.
AI Workflow
Input
The chest X-ray is sent to the AI system and to the radiologist.
Process
The AI system overlays flagged regions with confidence scores; radiologist views original first and then the augmented image.
Output
The radiologist writes the final report with diagnosis and next steps.
Human Oversight Level
Human-Led with AI-Assistance
Institutional Oversight Examples
- •Prioritization score to speed review (organization best practice)
- •Post-deployment monitoring for automation bias (organization best practice)
- •Data protection (regulation)
- •Radiation rules (regulation)
Risk
There are some risks with the AI system: automation bias and model errors potentially leading to misdiagnosis or missed risks.
