Near-term implementable finding

A stacking model for AI-assisted diagnosis of suspected pituitary microadenomas on non-contrast T1COR MRI: a multicenter reader study on bridging the experience gap.

This study sought to quantify, through a multi-reader study, whether AI assistance improves diagnostic accuracy across experience levels, reduces bidirectional errors, and enhances inter-reader consensus in suspected pituitary microadenoma diagnosis. To this end, we developed and validated a stacking model integrating clinical, radiomics, and deep learning features on non-contrast T1COR MRI.
