AI predicts radiologist expertise from 3D gaze patterns in CT scans

Researchers have developed a novel transformer framework that leverages 3D gaze patterns to predict radiologist expertise during CT scan interpretation. This model, utilizing a DINOv2 backbone, integrates visual search behavior into volumetric feature learning through self-attention biases and gaze-weighted pooling. Tested on 182 CT reading sessions, the framework achieved an ROC-AUC of 0.91 and an F1 score of 0.86, outperforming existing methods and suggesting a new avenue for objective expertise assessment in radiology. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more objective methods for evaluating and training radiologists, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.
