Chest X-ray (CXR) is the most important technique for performing chest imaging, despite its well-known limitations in terms of scope and sensitivity. These intrinsic limitations of CXR have prompted the development of several artificial intelligence (AI)-based software packages dedicated to CXR interpretation. The online database "AI for radiology" was queried to identify CE-marked AI-based software available for CXR interpretation. The returned studies were divided according to the targeted disease. AI-powered computer-aided detection software is already widely adopted in screening and triage for pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in countries with few resources and suffering from high a burden of this disease. AI-based software has also been demonstrated to be valuable for the detection of lung nodules detection, automated flagging of positive cases, and post-processing through the development of digital bone suppression software able to produce digital bone suppressed images. Finally, the majority of available CE-marked software packages for CXR are designed to recognize several findings, with potential differences in sensitivity and specificity for each of the recognized findings.
