Advances in predictive modeling of cranial growth in craniosynostosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Craniosynostosis, characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures, disrupts normal skull growth and may lead to neurological and functional complications. Despite advances in surgery, planning remains largely experience-based due to limited patient-specific predictive tools. METHODS A PRISMA-compliant...

Artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures: a deep learning-based clinical decision support model.

Accurate detection of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures remains a diagnostic challenge in emergency settings. To address this, we developed and validated a transfer-learning model, benchmarking its performance against board-certified emergency physicians. A retrospective dataset of 1440 anonymized pediatric elb...

Generative versus discriminative diagnostic performance of large multimodal models in intracranial and spinal neuroradiology

This study evaluated three large multimodal models (LMMs), GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, and Claude Opus 4.5, on 252 intracranial and spinal neuroradiology cases from the paywall-protected RSNA Case Collection using a two-stage paradigm comparing open-ended generative reasoning with multiple-choice discriminative recognitio...

Radiomics and machine learning for differentiating pediatric intramedullary spinal tumors: a pilot study

This review highlights the emerging role of time-resolved (“4D”) approaches in postmortem imaging, demonstrating how integrating temporal information can enhance reconstruction of injury mechanisms, postmortem processes, and medicolegal interpretation, thereby expanding forensic radiology beyond static documentation to...

Dual-Approach AI for Pediatric Supracondylar Fractures: Multiclass Radiograph Classification with Explainable AI and Diagnostic Meta-analysis of AI-Based Computational Approaches.

YOLOv11 Nano provided the first multiclass deep learning framework for pediatric SCF Gartland subtype classification with strong diagnostic performance and CNN-based algorithms showed numerically higher specificity than the single included radiomics study, though this comparison warrants caution.

Construction and validation of a nomogram for predicting the risk of severe diabetic oculomotor nerve palsy.

Diabetic oculomotor nerve palsy (DONP) mainly manifests as ptosis and diplopia, but limited literature quantitatively assesses its severity. This study analyzed risk factors for severe DONP occurrence, constructed a predictive model, and validated its efficacy. Retrospective analysis was conducted on 180 DONP patients...
