Retrospective comparison of three commercial artificial intelligence algorithms for detection of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in the emergency radiology department

BackgroundSeveral commercial artificial intelligence (Al) algorithms are available for detecting intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), but independent clinical validation remains limited.PurposeTo compare three commercially available Al algorithms for ICH detection on non- contrast head computed tomography (NCHCT).Material and MethodsIn this retrospective study, 4027 consecutive NCHCT examinations from a large emergency hospital in southwest Sweden were analyzed. Three Al algorithms were applied, with one vendor disclo…

Current reading — gain

Combining Aidoc AI with a human radiologist increased sensitivity for intracranial hemorrhage on non-contrast head CT to 96.0% while maintaining 99.4% specificity, detecting cases missed by radiologists alone.

Current reading — problem

Performance across three commercial ICH detection algorithms varied substantially, with only one system showing clinically relevant accuracy, indicating limited independent validation for routine emergency use.

What this doesn’t fix

Human-AI performance was estimated using an idealized model that assumes perfect dismissal of false positives, and the data come from a single-center retrospective cohort, limiting generalizability to prospective clinical implementation.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1107 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
