Deep learning ensemble models for CT-based differentiation of malignant and benign sacral bone tumors: development and evaluation

First artificial intelligence-radiologist ensemble for noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based sacral tumor classification. Boosts all radiologists' performance, with the greatest gains for juniors, potentially reducing referrals. Enables reliable NCCT diagnosis, overcoming contrast/magnetic resonance imaging dependency in musculoskeletal oncology.

Abstract

First artificial intelligence-radiologist ensemble for noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based sacral tumor classification. Boosts all radiologists' performance, with the greatest gains for juniors, potentially reducing referrals. Enables reliable NCCT diagnosis, overcoming contrast/magnetic resonance imaging dependency in musculoskeletal oncology.
