Generative AI achieved higher diagnostic accuracy when given text-only input compared to image-only input in radiology tasks.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 48 studies published through March 2025 synthesized diagnostic accuracy of generative AI in radiology and compared it to physician performance using multilevel random-effects meta-regression.

XGBoost model achieved moderate and relatively stable discrimination for identifying current MCI status among older adults with chronic conditions across 2018 internal and 2020 temporal validation, with highly stable TreeSHAP explanations.

Using CHARLS data, researchers built an interpretable machine-learning framework to identify MCI at time of assessment in older adults with chronic conditions. After LASSO selection of 27 predictors, a prespecified XGBoost model achieved AUROC 0.692 internally in 2018 and 0.702 in 2020 temporal validation, with TreeSHAP highlighting number of living children, sleep duration, education, ADL and age.

Deep learning models for ultrasound beamforming can improve image resolution and quality over traditional DAS methods and enable real-time processing when paired with FPGA acceleration.

This peer-reviewed review from October 2026 surveys deep learning approaches to ultrasound beamforming, including CNNs, GANs, transformers and hybrid models, and evaluates them against traditional delay-and-sum methods. It also examines datasets, benchmarks, and hardware strategies such as FPGA acceleration and cloud-edge inference for real-time use.

Imaging AI models achieved high pooled diagnostic accuracy for detecting avascular necrosis of the femoral head in research datasets.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of imaging AI for avascular necrosis of the femoral head pooled nine estimates and reported sensitivity of 0.888, specificity of 0.937, and SROC AUC of 0.967, with MRI-based models showing higher sensitivity than radiography-based models.

In DLBCL patients treated with first-line immunochemotherapy, CT-measured sarcopenia in the lowest tertile of muscle mass is associated with inferior overall survival driven by nonrelapse mortality and higher risk of hematologic toxicity.

In patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma from the PETAL trial, investigators used machine learning-supported body composition analysis of CT imaging to measure skeletal muscle mass. Those in the lowest tertile had inferior survival after adjustment for established risk factors, with cause-specific analyses pointing to nonrelapse mortality rather than lymphoma-specific death.

AI simulations failed to accurately reproduce quantitative facial anthropometric changes after denture placement despite visual similarity.

A prospective study of 14 edentulous patients compared actual post-denture facial photographs with AI-generated predictions from pretreatment images using Gemini and FaceApp, assessing patient preference, expert esthetic ratings, and quantitative anthropometric measurements.

Many ML studies of soil potentially toxic elements rely on spatially naive validation, and random cross-validation often overestimates predictive performance when spatial dependence is ignored, with incomplete uncertainty reporting.

Published August 29, 2026, this peer-reviewed synthesis reviews 2020-2025 literature on machine learning for mapping potentially toxic elements in soils. It finds growing use of ML with environmental covariates but persistent use of spatially naive validation, limited interpretation, and incomplete uncertainty reporting.

Studies use inconsistent phenotyping methods and provide limited validation, slowing translation of AI-derived BSI subphenotypes into routine clinical practice.

By August 2026, a review in Clinical Microbiology and Infection summarized evidence on using unsupervised machine learning to derive clinical subphenotypes of bloodstream infections. The strongest data were in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, where latent class and cluster analyses identified distinct subgroups with different mortality across cohorts, with emerging work in ICU mixed-pathogen and transplant populations and early bedside calculators for phenotype assignment.
