AI model detects esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions on noncontrast chest CT

An AI model (EAGLE) analyzing noncontrast chest CT achieved 90.0% sensitivity for esophageal cancer and 98.5% specificity in external multicenter testing (11,466 patients), and 99.94% specificity in low-dose screening. Could enable opportunistic esophageal cancer screening.

Deep Learning Detection of Proximal Caries on Pediatric Periapical Radiographs

DEIMv2-X achieved highest Macro-F1 0.538 & mAP50 0.486 for detecting interproximal caries on pediatric periapical radiographs (internal test); YOLOv11x had best recall 0.561. External validation favored YOLOv11x for Macro-F1 & precision. Incipient lesions remained challenging.

AI-Assisted CT Analysis in Pulmonary Hypertension: Systematic Review Finds High Diagnostic Accuracy but Limited Validation

In a systematic review of 17 studies, AI-assisted CT analysis for pulmonary hypertension detection achieved AUCs of 0.66–0.99. However, studies were mostly small, retrospective, and lacked external validation, limiting immediate clinical application.

Tau PET imaging best predicts cognitive decline among AT(N) biomarkers in ADNI cohort

In 383 Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants, tau PET biomarkers most accurately predicted cognitive decline, matching models combining all three imaging pathology measures. Binarized biomarkers largely preserved accuracy, and imaging consistently outperformed…

LLMs tested on 93 mixed dentition radiographs for tooth ID, caries, and periapical assessment

Large language models evaluated on 93 mixed dentition radiographs from children: Gemini 3 Pro had highest accuracy for tooth identification and caries detection, but none could identify periodontitis. All LLMs were inferior to expert human judgment.

MRI reveals brachial plexus lymphoma mimicking plexopathy

Diffuse T2/STIR hyperintensity and thickening of brachial plexus with marrow infiltration on MRI suggested lymphoma in a 32-year-old man with rapidly progressive brachial plexopathy. Biopsy confirmed Stage IV high-grade B-cell lymphoma; chemoimmunotherapy led to recovery.
