RADIOLOGISTS correctly identified AI-generated images only about three quarters of the time in a study examining whether clinicians could distinguish synthetic radiology scans from genuine ones. Cross-Sectional Imaging Proved Most Difficult to ClassifyThe study included 182 radiologists, who completed an online survey featuring 30 images comprising 20 AI-generated and 10 real radiological images. Researchers created the synthetic images using the Dreambooth fine-tuning approach applied to Stable Diffusion v2.1. Detection rates were similar for AI-generated images (75.0%) and genuine images (83.4%), with no statistically significant difference between the two. The findings suggested AI-generated radiological images could support applications such as AI model training.
