Factors in establishing trust in clinical AI

Consistency

Accuracy

Low validation burden

Human review consumes:

  • Time
    Often several minutes per output

  • Staffing
    Additional navigators, clinicians, or quality personnel

  • Budget
    Salary and operational expenses that scale with volume

Human review consumes:

  • ~93 million CT scans in 2023

  • —> Up from 68.7 million

  • 39.8% of all radiology exams contain an incidental finding

Human review consumes:

  • 90
    Pancreatic cancers identified

  • 37x
    Growth in new patients

  • 4,622
    Downstream exams generated

  • 55%
    Pancreatic cancers found in stages I, II, and III

  • 77%
    Successful return rate for high-risk patients

Validation Burden decreases when:

  • Extracted information is precise and complete
    Findings are identified with sufficient detail to determine follow-up without re-reading the report.

  • Clinical relationships are captured accurately
    Measurements, locations, and descriptors are correctly linked to the same finding.

  • Temporal context is interpreted correctly
    Current findings are distinguished from prior ones, and change over time is understood.

  • Outputs are deterministic and reproducible
    The same input produces the same result, supporting auditability and trust.

  • Every data element is traceable to source text
    Clinicians can see exactly where information came from without manual reconstruction.

TRANSPARENCY: MODERATE
RELIABILITY: LIMITED
TRACEABILITY: PARTIAL
