Rad Partners Wins $1.29M FDA Grant for AI Radiology Report Evaluation Study

Cognita Imaging, part of Rad Partners, has received a $1.29M FDA grant to develop a new framework using large language models (LLMs) to evaluate AI-generated radiology reports.
Key Details
- 1Cognita Imaging has been awarded a $1.29 million grant from the FDA.
- 2The 18-month project will create and validate a framework that uses multiple LLMs to assess radiology reports, both human- and AI-generated.
- 3The method is described as "LLMs as a jury," leveraging consensus from several AI models.
- 4This approach addresses scalability limitations of traditional expert reader studies in evaluating AI-generated clinical content.
- 5Radiologists will still review especially challenging cases to ensure quality.
- 6Project aims to improve reliability and generalizability of AI report evaluation in real-world radiology practice.
