Re: Misclassification- actually 24-52%

For an accurate diagnosis, one needs to understand nuances that might not show well in a x-ray but the clinical symptoms indicate. Some kidney stones show up poorly in a x-ray, if at all. But you have a patient with kidney stones. A competent person will understand the problem and will make allowances for it. Artificial Idiocy not likely unless someone programmed it to take into account other clinical symptoms. But your typical program is not a clinician.
