Artificial intelligence outperforms pulmonologists in the interpretation of pulmonary function tests
European Respiratory Journal, 2019 The interpretation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to diagnose respiratory diseases is built on expert opinion that relies on the recognition of patterns and the clinical context for detection of specific diseases.
