Machine-learning predicts complications from CT-guided biopsy
March 15, 2021 -- Machine-learning models can predict whether a CT-guided transthoracic biopsy will have complications and if so, how severe they will be, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. After training and testing machine-learning models on CT-guided biopsies from nearly 1,500 patients, the researchers found that the algorithms could produce a high level of accuracy for predicting complications and their severity. "But more importantly, [they could] identify that technical procedural factors mattered the most, and delineate specific factors and th...
