Deep-Learning Algorithm May Be Able To Detect An Incorrectly Positioned Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter, Study Suggests.

Aunt Minnie (6/12, Ridley) reports “a deep-learning algorithm that can prescreen chest radiographs for an incorrectly positioned peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was presented at the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting.” Researchers “developed an artificial intelligence (AI) platform based on deep learning that can identify the location of the PICC line tip on chest radiographs,” and “the model could predict the PICC tip line within an average of 3 mm of the actual location.”
