BackgroundDelays in the diagnosis of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) contribute to the significant morbidity of the condition, especially in the era of disease-modifying therapies. Screening for ATTR-CM with AI and other algorithms may improve timely diagnosis, but these algorithms have not been directly compared. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the performance of four algorithms for ATTR-CM detection in a heart failure population and assess the risk for harms due to model bias. MethodsWe identified patients in an integrated health system from 2010-2022 with ATTR-CM and age- and sex-matched them to controls with heart failure to target 5% prevalence. We compared the performance of a claims-based random forest model (Huda et al. model), a regression-based score (Mayo ATTR-CM), and two deep learning echo models (EchoNet-LVH and EchoGo(R) Amyloidosis). We evaluated for bias using standard fairness metrics. ResultsThe analytical cohort included 176 confirmed cases of ATTR-CM and 3192 control patients with 79.2% self-identified as White and 9.0% as Black. The Huda et al. model performed poorly (AUC 0.49). Both deep learning echo models had a higher AUC when compared to the Mayo ATTR-CM Score (EchoNet-LVH 0.88; EchoGo Amyloidosis 0.92; Mayo ATTR-CM Score 0.79; DeLong P<0.001 for both). Bias auditing met fairness criteria for equal opportunity among patients who identified as Black. ConclusionsDeep learning, echo-based models to detect ATTR-CM demonstrated best overall discrimination when compared to two other models in external validation with low risk of harms due to racial bias.

AI tools in radiology are revolutionising the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of patients. However, there is a major gap between the large number of developed AI tools and those translated into daily clinical practice, which can be primarily attributed to limited usefulness and trust in current AI tools. Instead of technically driven development, little effort has been put into value-based development to ensure AI tools will have a clinically relevant impact on patient care. An iterative comprehensive value evaluation process covering the complete AI tool lifecycle should be part of radiology AI development. For value assessment of health technologies, health technology assessment (HTA) is an extensively used and comprehensive method. While most aspects of value covered by HTA apply to radiology AI, additional aspects, including transparency, explainability, and robustness, are unique to radiology AI and crucial in its value assessment. Additionally, value assessment should already be included early in the design stage to determine the potential impact and subsequent requirements of the AI tool. Such early assessment should be systematic, transparent, and practical to ensure all stakeholders and value aspects are considered. Hence, early value-based development by incorporating early HTA will lead to more valuable AI tools and thus facilitate translation to clinical practice. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This paper advocates for the use of early value-based assessments. These assessments promote a comprehensive evaluation on how an AI tool in development can provide value in clinical practice and thus help improve the quality of these tools and the clinical process they support. KEY POINTS: Value in radiology AI should be perceived as a comprehensive term including health technology assessment domains and AI-specific domains. Incorporation of an early health technology assessment for radiology AI during development will lead to more valuable radiology AI tools. Comprehensive and transparent value assessment of radiology AI tools is essential for their widespread adoption.

In this narrative review, we address the ongoing challenges of lung cancer (LC) screening using chest low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) and explore the contributions of artificial intelligence (AI), in overcoming them. We focus on evaluating the initial (baseline) LDCT examination, which provides a wealth of information relevant to the screening participant's health. This includes the detection of large-size prevalent LC and small-size malignant nodules that are typically diagnosed as LCs upon growth in subsequent annual LDCT scans. Additionally, the baseline LDCT examination provides valuable information about smoking-related comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and interstitial lung disease (ILD), by identifying relevant markers. Notably, these comorbidities, despite the slow progression of their markers, collectively exceed LC as ultimate causes of death at follow-up in LC screening participants. Computer-assisted diagnosis tools currently improve the reproducibility of radiologic readings and reduce the false negative rate of LDCT. Deep learning (DL) tools that analyze the radiomic features of lung nodules are being developed to distinguish between benign and malignant nodules. Furthermore, AI tools can predict the risk of LC in the years following a baseline LDCT. AI tools that analyze baseline LDCT examinations can also compute the risk of cardiovascular disease or death, paving the way for personalized screening interventions. Additionally, DL tools are available for assessing osteoporosis and ILD, which helps refine the individual's current and future health profile. The primary obstacles to AI integration into the LDCT screening pathway are the generalizability of performance and the explainability.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in breast cancer screening, with two distinct applications: computer-aided cancer detection (CAD) and risk prediction. While AI CAD systems are slowly finding its way into clinical practice to assist radiologists or make independent reads, this review focuses on AI risk models, which aim to predict a patient's likelihood of being diagnosed with breast cancer within a few years after negative screening. Unlike AI CAD systems, AI risk models are mainly explored in research settings without widespread clinical adoption. This review synthesizes advances in AI-driven risk prediction models, from traditional imaging biomarkers to cutting-edge deep learning methodologies and multimodal approaches. Contributions by leading researchers are explored with critical appraisal of their methods and findings. Ethical, practical, and clinical challenges in implementing AI models are also discussed, with an emphasis on real-world applications. This review concludes by proposing future directions to optimize the adoption of AI tools in breast cancer screening and improve equity and outcomes for diverse populations.

The American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR) and the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI) recognize the transformative potential of AI in veterinary diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology. This position statement outlines the guiding principles for the ethical development and integration of AI technologies to ensure patient safety and clinical effectiveness. Artificial intelligence systems must adhere to good machine learning practices, emphasizing transparency, error reporting, and the involvement of clinical experts throughout development. These tools should also include robust mechanisms for secure patient data handling and postimplementation monitoring. The position highlights the critical importance of maintaining a veterinarian in the loop, preferably a board-certified radiologist or radiation oncologist, to interpret AI outputs and safeguard diagnostic quality. Currently, no commercially available AI products for veterinary diagnostic imaging meet the required standards for transparency, validation, or safety. The ACVR and ECVDI advocate for rigorous peer-reviewed research, unbiased third-party evaluations, and interdisciplinary collaboration to establish evidence-based benchmarks for AI applications. Additionally, the statement calls for enhanced education on AI for veterinary professionals, from foundational training in curricula to continuing education for practitioners. Veterinarians are encouraged to disclose AI usage to pet owners and provide alternative diagnostic options as needed. Regulatory bodies should establish guidelines to prevent misuse and protect the profession and patients. The ACVR and ECVDI stress the need for a cautious, informed approach to AI adoption, ensuring these technologies augment, rather than compromise, veterinary care.

AI has emerged as a transformative force in clinical medicine, changing the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients. Tools have been derived for working with ML, DL, and NLP algorithms to analyze large complex medical datasets with unprecedented accuracy and speed, thereby improving diagnostic precision, treatment personalization, and patient care outcomes. For example, CNNs have dramatically improved the accuracy of medical imaging diagnoses, and NLP algorithms have greatly helped extract insights from unstructured data, including EHRs. However, there are still numerous challenges that face AI integration into clinical workflows, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, ethical dilemmas, and problems with the interpretability of "black-box" AI models. These barriers have thus far prevented the widespread application of AI in health care, and its possible trends, obstacles, and future implications are necessary to be systematically explored. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to assess the current trends in AI applications in clinical medicine, identify those obstacles that are hindering adoption, and identify possible future directions. This research hopes to synthesize evidence from other peer-reviewed articles to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the role that AI plays to advance clinical practices, improve patient outcomes, or enhance decision-making. A systematic review was done according to the PRISMA guidelines to explore the integration of Artificial Intelligence in clinical medicine, including trends, challenges, and future directions. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles from 2014 to 2024 with keywords such as "Artificial Intelligence in Medicine," "AI in Clinical Practice," "Machine Learning in Healthcare," and "Ethical Implications of AI in Medicine." Studies focusing on AI application in diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient care reporting measurable clinical outcomes were included. Non-clinical AI applications and articles published before 2014 were excluded. Selected studies were screened for relevance, and then their quality was critically appraised to synthesize data reliably and rigorously. This systematic review includes the findings of 8 studies that pointed out the transformational role of AI in clinical medicine. AI tools, such as CNNs, had diagnostic accuracy more than the traditional methods, particularly in radiology and pathology. Predictive models efficiently supported risk stratification, early disease detection, and personalized medicine. Despite these improvements, significant hurdles, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and resistance from clinicians regarding the "black-box" nature of AI, had yet to be surmounted. XAI has emerged as an attractive solution that offers the promise to enhance interpretability and trust. As a whole, AI appeared promising in enhancing diagnostics, treatment personalization, and clinical workflows by dealing with systemic inefficiencies. The transformation potential of AI in clinical medicine can transform diagnostics, treatment strategies, and efficiency. Overcoming obstacles such as concerns about data privacy, the danger of algorithmic bias, and difficulties with interpretability may pave the way for broader use and facilitate improvement in patient outcomes while transforming clinical workflows to bring sustainability into healthcare delivery.

Artificial intelligence in radiology critically depends on vast amounts of quality data, and there are controversies surrounding the topic of data ownership. In the current clinical framework, the secondary use of clinical data should be treated as a form of public good to benefit future patients. In this article, we propose that the physicians' input in data curation and interpretation adds value to the data and is crucial for building clinically relevant artificial intelligence models.

This article aimed to explore topological uncertainty in medical imaging, particularly in assessing coronary artery calcification using artificial intelligence (AI). Topological uncertainty refers to ambiguities in spatial and structural characteristics of medical features, which can impact the interpretation of coronary plaques. The article discusses the challenges of integrating AI with topological considerations and the need for specialized methodologies beyond traditional performance metrics. It highlights advancements in quantifying topological uncertainty, including the use of persistent homology and topological data analysis techniques. The importance of standardization in methodologies and ethical considerations in AI deployment are emphasized. It also outlines various types of uncertainty in topological frameworks for coronary plaques, categorizing them as quantifiable and controllable or quantifiable and not controllable. Future directions include developing AI algorithms that incorporate topological insights, establishing standardized protocols, and exploring ethical implications to revolutionize cardiovascular care through personalized treatment plans guided by sophisticated topological analysis. Recognizing and quantifying topological uncertainty in medical imaging as AI emerges is critical. Exploring topological uncertainty in coronary artery disease will revolutionize cardiovascular care, promising enhanced precision and personalization in diagnostics and treatment for millions affected by cardiovascular diseases.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming multidisciplinary oncology at an unprecedented pace, redefining how clinicians detect, classify, and treat cancer. From earlier and more accurate diagnoses to personalized treatment planning, AI's impact is evident across radiology, pathology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology. By leveraging vast and diverse data-including imaging, genomic, clinical, and real-world evidence-AI algorithms can uncover complex patterns, accelerate drug discovery, and help identify optimal treatment regimens for each patient. However, realizing the full potential of AI also necessitates addressing concerns regarding data quality, algorithmic bias, explainability, privacy, and regulatory oversight-especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where disparities in cancer care are particularly pronounced. This study provides a comprehensive overview of how AI is reshaping cancer care, reviews its benefits and challenges, and outlines ethical and policy implications in line with ASCO's 2025 theme, <i>Driving Knowledge to Action.</i> We offer concrete calls to action for clinicians, researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to ensure that AI-driven, patient-centric oncology is accessible, equitable, and sustainable worldwide.
