Targeted interventions could help reduce pre-test anxiety, improve the physical screening experience, and address structural barriers in underserved settings.
Pitting three multipurpose LLMs against two healthcare-specific AI tools, researchers have discovered the consumer-level AI can beat its purpose-built counterparts in healthcare scenarios—and soundly, at that.

New research reveals that expanding CT angiography scans of the head and neck to capture the area at least 6 cm below the carina can significantly increase the detection of cardioaortic thrombi.
Targeted interventions could help reduce pre-test anxiety, improve the physical screening experience, and address structural barriers in underserved settings.
