AI in pediatric neuroimaging: current tools, gaps, and future directions

A review maps AI applications in pediatric neuroimaging across quality/safety, fetal, neonatal, hydrocephalus, malformations, tumors, epilepsy, demyelination, stroke, and trauma, while noting that very few FDA-cleared AI tools are pediatric-specific and highlighting the need for…

• Very few FDA-cleared AI software tools are designed for pediatric radiology, with most cleared applications in adult neuroradiology.
• Pediatric AI development is limited by small, rare datasets, age-related variability, and a smaller commercial market.
• Generative AI may help overcome current limitations through complex multimodal pattern recognition.
