About The Study: The results of this study suggest that a deep learning model able to distinguish colon carcinoma and acute diverticulitis in computed tomography (CT) images as a support system may significantly improve the diagnostic performance of radiologists, which may improve patient care. As an artificial intelligence support system, the model significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity and reduced the number of false-negative and false-positive findings. 

Authors: Sebastian Ziegelmayer, M.D., of the Technical University of Munich in Munich, Germany, is the corresponding author.
