Machine learning applied to clinical images, covering acquisition, reconstruction, enhancement and interpretation in radiology and image-guided procedures.
AMIFound, a single model, outperformed 38 baselines at restoring degraded medical images across seven modalities, according to its authors. The downstream results are what make a shared restoration step ahead of clinical AI plausible.

NV-Reason-CT reads a 300-to-600-slice study as a single 3D volume instead of a stack of frames. NVIDIA published it as an uncleared research foundation whose cited multireader study measured its chest X-ray predecessor.

A Melbourne oncologist told the Guardian she doubts a cure for all cancer inside 10 years, and the clinicians who said so expect the real gains in diagnostics, pathology and treatment selection. Those are steps a budget can be written against.

Damo Academy's RADAR reports a mean AUC of 0.913 across 146 findings and beat 23 of 26 radiologists, and its weights ship under a research-only licence, so commercial deployment still goes through Alibaba.

Alibaba's DAMO Academy put RADAR's training code and pretrained checkpoints under Apache 2.0 on September 18, a day after the Science paper. The 146 in the coverage counts radiological findings, cancers among them.
Reality
A developer ran eight signed radiology studies past Claude, Gemini, Grok and MedGemma, and the sides came back wrong often enough that he moved the laterality check out of the model and into the NIfTI affine.
Reality
Existing 2D/3D registration models align well for some patients and fail for others. MIT's xvr, out today in Nature, fits itself to one patient in about five minutes, then matches that patient's X-rays to their 3D scan in seconds.

Corologic's AngioFilm interpolates low-frame-rate coronary angiography video in real time so the machine takes fewer X-ray pictures, and the seed money from Kakao Ventures and SNU Holdings is going to multicenter validation and approvals.
