In higher education, higher multimodal literacy, self-efficacy, and university support increased students' perceived usefulness and ease of use of AI tools, with perceived usefulness driving more positive attitudes and stronger intentions to adopt them.

Published September 8 2025, this peer-reviewed study examined AI tool adoption among 498 higher-education students using a PLS-SEM model that integrated multimodal literacy, self-efficacy, and university support into the technology acceptance model. It found perceived usefulness was the strongest predictor of attitude and intention to use AI tools, with all three antecedents significantly affecting perceived usefulness and ease of use.

An interpretable XGBoost model combining clinical variables and multimodal musculoskeletal ultrasound achieved high accuracy for osteoporosis prediction, offering a practical tool for early risk stratification.

Researchers developed and validated an interpretable machine learning model for osteoporosis prediction using clinical variables and multimodal musculoskeletal ultrasound from participants enrolled at two medical centers. After LASSO feature selection, eight algorithms were compared, and the XGBoost model achieved accuracies of 0.889 in training, 0.825 in internal validation, and 0.773 in external testing, with SHAP used to explain feature contributions.

Canadian medical students not interested in radiology reported a higher perceived impact of AI on the field and lower perceived career sustainability, alongside limited adequate radiology exposure.

By September 2026, researchers surveyed 73 Canadian medical students to test whether perceptions of radiology's procedural scope and AI integration differed by interest in radiology. Interested students rated therapeutic and diagnostic procedures as more important and reported higher perceived career sustainability, while non-interested students reported higher perceived AI impact.

Current AI models frequently produce visually plausible but anatomically inaccurate illustrations, with major errors across all models, making them unreliable for unsupervised clinical use.

On September 4, 2026, a peer-reviewed study in Academic Radiology evaluated 25 musculoskeletal imaging cases where three AI systems generated visual summaries from report text alone. Two fellowship-trained MSK radiologists rated each image for anatomical accuracy and clinical usefulness, finding Gemini 3.0 Pro most consistent at 40-42% accurate and 60-65% useful, while ChatGPT and Perplexity frequently produced plausible but inaccurate images.

Adoption of digital pathology and AI in liver disease is constrained by access and logistics barriers, quality issues, lack of guidance, and unproven real-world effectiveness and clinical safety.

A September 2026 review in The Lancet Digital Health summarizes how digital pathology, image analysis, and AI, including deep learning on high-resolution whole-slide images, are being applied to liver disease, liver cancer diagnosis, and transplantation assessment. The authors describe expanding use from long-standing research applications to increasing clinical practice access.

Gen X and Gen Y teachers reported heightened concerns that student use of generative AI in higher education could lead to overreliance and create ethical and pedagogical problems without proper guidelines and policies.

A November 2023 peer-reviewed study surveyed Generation Z students and Generation X and Generation Y teachers about generative AI in higher education. Gen Z respondents were generally optimistic about benefits such as productivity and personalized learning and said they intended to use the tools for educational purposes, while Gen X and Gen Y teachers acknowledged benefits but reported stronger concerns about overreliance and ethical and pedagogical implications.
