What researchers observed
This study measured reduced expert time and estimated cost savings using AI to assist medical image segmentation on CT and MRI scans.
What this could mean
This could help researchers create high-quality image data faster and cheaper, improving study speed and rigor. It may point toward more efficient ways to train models with less expert time.
What researchers still need to learn
Researchers still need to learn whether these time savings lead to better or faster clinical outcomes.
