Medical imaging, particularly radiography, is an indispensable part of diagnosing many chest diseases. Final diagnoses are made by radiologists based on images, but the decision-making process is always associated with a risk of incorrect interpretation. Incorrectly interpreted data can lead to delays in treatment, a prescription of inappropriate therapy, or even a completely missed diagnosis.

The multi-hospital network linked 178 Moscow state healthcare centers, where all chest X-rays from the network were redirected to a research facility, analyzed with AI, and returned to the centers. The experiment was formulated as a public competition with monetary awards for participating industrial and research teams.

It was demonstrated that diagnostic accuracy of radiologists significantly reduces at the end of work shifts. The study aims to investigate how radiologists cover chest X-rays with their gaze in the presence of different chest abnormalities and high workload.

Around 60-80% of radiological errors are attributed to overlooked abnormalities, the rate of which increases at the end of work shifts. In this study, we run an experiment to investigate if artificial intelligence (AI) can assist in detecting radiologists' gaze patterns that correlate with fatigue. A retrospective database of lung X-ray images with the reference diagnoses was used.
