A recent study in the journal Radiology tested whether 17 radiologists could identify when an X-ray was created using artificial intelligence. The results were interesting — the medical professionals correctly differentiated the real from deepfake images about three-quarters of the time. STAT reporter Katie Palmer, who reported on the study last week (and is not a trained radiologist,) took the quiz and also scored about 75%.
In this week’s STATus Report, host Alex Hogan spoke with Palmer about the study and what implications AI could have for patient safety. Hogan also took the quiz himself and sees if he can beat the radiologists’ (and apparent X-ray reading prodigy Palmer’s) score.
