ConvNeXt-based AI trained on 3676 smartphone images from 1016 patients achieved AUCs of 0.825-0.860 for EASI component scores >=2 and >0.900 for score 3, supporting use as an educational tool to standardize EASI scoring.

Researchers prospectively collected 3676 smartphone images from 1016 atopic dermatitis patients at 16 Japanese institutions and trained a ConvNeXt model to score four EASI signs against dermatologist ratings. The model achieved AUCs of 0.825 to 0.860 for scores >=2 and over 0.900 for score 3, with erythema most accurately detected.

A preoperative model using Evans index, tumor-fourth ventricle relationship, and preoperative CSF diversion status achieved good external discrimination for postoperative hydrocephalus after posterior fossa tumor resection.

Investigators developed and externally validated a machine learning model to stratify risk of postoperative hydrocephalus after posterior fossa tumor resection using data from 1,073 patients treated at five tertiary centers from 2013 to 2024. After screening 30 variables, they built a three-variable preoperative model using Evans index, tumor-fourth ventricle relationship, and preoperative CSF diversion status, with SVM showing AUC 0.877 in the external cohort.

Survey-weighted Explainable Boosting Machine achieved strong temporal stability for severe tooth loss prediction on US BRFSS cohorts, supporting transparent population-level risk stratification.

Researchers developed a TRIPOD+AI-compliant, survey-weighted MICE-EBM framework to predict severe tooth loss defined as six or more missing teeth using US representative data. The model was derived on BRFSS 2022 with 433,772 adults, temporally validated on BRFSS 2024 with 448,213 adults, and tested for cross-survey generalizability on NHANES 2015-2018 with 10,775 adults.

A two-stage CNN pipeline using Faster R-CNN with EfficientNet-B7 detected dental implants on panoramic radiographs and classified brand and prosthetic platform size with high accuracy, supporting faster and more standardized clinical workflows when records are missing.

Researchers developed and validated a two-stage convolutional neural network pipeline to detect dental implants on panoramic radiographs and classify them by brand and prosthetic platform size. Using 387 radiographs with 1004 implants, the Faster R-CNN with EfficientNet-B7 backbone achieved 99.45% detection accuracy and 85.60% combined brand-and-platform accuracy across 25 partitions.

Most studies were retrospective and may not reflect real-world performance and access constraints, and CT segmentation remains constrained by subtle early ischemic changes and poor generalization, limiting equitable clinical deployment.

By July 2026, a narrative review of 40 studies from 2020-2025 found deep learning, led by U-Net variants with residual and attention mechanisms and standardized pipelines like nnU-Net, increasingly achieved high Dice scores on MRI DWI/ADC, with many reports above 0.80 and recent transformer and ensemble multisite models approaching 0.90, while CT performance was lower and more variable.
