View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like Med-Gemini-3D can aid in diagnosing rare conditions such as Enlarged Parietal Foramina (EPF). This case highlights AI
Area Of Science
- Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence
- Genetics
Background
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming diagnostic imaging, aiding pattern recognition and clinical decisions.
- Google's Med-Gemini-3D, a multimodal AI, interprets 3D CT scans and generates reports.
- AI tools show potential in identifying rare conditions unfamiliar to clinicians.
Purpose Of The Study
- To describe a case where AI assisted in diagnosing a rare craniofacial anomaly.
- To highlight the potential of AI in identifying rare conditions and guiding genetic evaluation.
- To underscore the role of AI in improving patient outcomes through early intervention.
Main Methods
- A 22-month-old girl presented with skull defects and developmental delay.
- Computed tomography (CT) revealed symmetric ossification defects.
- A smartphone AI application (Med-Gemini-3D) analyzed 3D-CT scans, suggesting Enlarged Parietal Foramina (EPF).
Main Results
- AI analysis suggested "Catlin mark skull" (EPF), prompting genetic testing.
- Genetic evaluation identified a CDC42BPB variant linked to Chilton-Okur-Chung neurodevelopmental syndrome.
- This diagnosis, aided by AI, was not previously associated with EPF.
Conclusions
- AI-assisted tools show promise in recognizing rare craniofacial anomalies.
- While AI cannot replace clinical expertise, it can expand differential diagnoses and expedite referrals.
- Further research is needed to validate AI reliability and optimize its clinical integration for improved patient outcomes.
