Application of artificial intelligence in thoracic radiology: A narrative review (Application of AI in thoracic radiology).

Thoracic radiology is a primary field where artificial intelligence (AI) has been extensively researched. Recent advancements in AI demonstrate potential improvements in radiologists' performance. AI facilitates the detection and classification of abnormalities, as well as the quantification of both normal and abnormal anatomical structures. Furthermore, it enables prognostication based on these quantitative values. In this review article, the recent achievements of AI in thoracic radiology will be reviewed, mainly focused on deep learning, and the current limitations and future directions of this cutting-edge technique will be discussed.
