headline: Image-Based Diagnosis of Oral Lesions: Performance of a Vision-Language Model versus Human Clinicians
dek: Objective To evaluate the real-world diagnostic performance of a multimodal large language model (LLM) for image-based assessment of oral mucosal lesions compared with clinicians of varying expertise. Study design Prospective international multicenter diagnostic accuracy study. Setting Twenty university and tertiary head and neck centers in Italy, Belgium, France, Spain, and Israel. Methods We enrolled 350 consecutive patients (320 with oral lesions, 30 with normal mucosa). Clinical photographs and basic epidemi…

Results AI-Gemini achieved 97.1% accuracy for lesion detection and malignancy classification, with sensitivity 98.5% and specificity 96.2% for malignancy, and 88.0% accuracy for precise histologic diagnosis. The head and neck surgeon achieved the highest accuracy for precise diagnosis (97.7%).

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1166 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
