|April 09, 2025
KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad on Tuesday said it has conducted its largest-ever AI-driven study on pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) detection using chest X-rays (CXRs).
-
A total of 16,675 CXRs of adult patients were analyzed retrospectively using an advanced AI tool, QXR, without direct clinician intervention, the hospital said in a release here.
The study focused on two key objectives: evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of AI in TB detection and assessing its agreement with radiologists.
The findings indicate that AI technology is highly effective in identifying TB cases, with an impressive sensitivity rate of 88.7 percent.
Sensitivity refers to the tool's ability to correctly detect TB-positive cases, demonstrating that AI can play a crucial role in early diagnosis.
