Defects in ciliary motility are either primary, as in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), or secondary. Identification of mucociliary clearance defects allows the implementation of appropriate management. High-speed video-microscopy (HSVM) is used to assess cilia motility from nasal biopsy samples. It is a time consuming and subjective requiring significant expertise. Computer vision can improve the identification of cilia motility defects by minimising subjectivity and reducing the cost and time to analyse samples. Using an artificial intelligence platform (Intel® Geti™), we have trained several models using archived HSVM videos from patients referred to the Royal Brompton Hospital who were diagnosed with PCD and display a range of ciliary motility phenotypes and non-PCD controls. The videos used are converted to optical flow to provide temporal information to the machine learning algorithm. We are training the platform to classify different categories of beat pattern: Immotile, Normal, Reduced Amplitude and Rotation. Models also include assessing sample quality and cilia beating orientation. The preliminary data based on projects currently in development are promising: the model classifying normal beating vs&nbsp;immotile cilia (around 30,000 frames) has a predictive accuracy of 100% and the beat pattern recognition model (around 25,000 frames) has a predictive accuracy of 97%.

Aim and objectives The aim of this study is to analyse the amount of radiation exposure in primary spontaneous pneumothorax patients during the first event and subsequent episodes. <b>Methods:</b> Patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed for the number of chest x rays and chest CT scans related to the diagnosis/treatment of the pneumothorax in an academic (Leiden University Medical Center) and a teaching hospital (Alrijne) in the Netherlands. The number of imaging studies was counted for the first episode and all subsequent episodes of ipsilateral and contralateral recurrence. <b>Results:</b> From January 2015 till December 2022 the medical files of 180 primary spontaneous pneumothorax patients were analyzed.

Findings 11 patients had abdominal CT scans before referral. 5 had fibrosis present. Time from these scans to clinic review ranged from 3 to 36 months.
