An artificial intelligence model called MiniGPT-Med, has been developed by the Center of Excellence for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, to assist doctors with radiology diagnoses. The versatile model has been trained on a range of medical images including X-rays and CT scans.
MiniGPT-Med exhibits advanced performance in generating medical reports, with 19% higher efficiency than previous models. It serves as a general interface for radiology diagnosis, enhancing diagnostic efficiency across various medical imaging applications.
Generative AI is also changing the way radiologists work by helping with the detection and segmentation of radiological image data, or by improving image quality. Initial prototypes show its huge potential to support the work of radiologists in the future.
However, the impact of AI-generated advice on physicians’ decision-making is still being explored. While AI models have shown excellent performance equal to or even surpassing human experts, few studies have investigated their actual clinical impact when implemented in natural clinical settings.
One study found that receiving annotated advice from AI, resulted in the highest diagnostic accuracy for physicians, who also rated the quality of AI advice, higher than human advice. The magnitude of the effects varied between task experts and non-task experts, with the latter benefiting considerably from correct explainable AI advice.

Another study claimed that AI can analyze X-rays and diagnose medical issues just as well as doctors. The software, called X-Raydar, removed human error and bias, and would be the “future of medicine” acting as a “co-pilot for busy doctors.”
However, research also shows that the benefits of using AI tools on image interpretation, vary from clinician to clinician. Some radiologists are helped by AI while others are harmed by it, underscoring the importance of carefully calibrated implementation of AI into clinical practice.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the medical field through significant advancements in diagnostics, personalized medicine, drug discovery, predictive analytics, and robotics. In diagnostics, AI models like MiniGPT-Med, enhance radiology by accurately analyzing medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, detecting abnormalities and generating efficient medical reports.
Personalized medicine benefits from AI’s ability to analyze genetic data, allow for tailored treatments based on individual genetic profiles, thus improving treatment efficacy and minimizing side effects. In drug discovery, AI accelerates the process by predicting compound interactions with biological targets, and significantly reducing the time and cost involved in bringing new drugs to market. Predictive analytics powered by AI, analyze electronic health records to foresee patient outcomes, identify high-risk patients, and enable early interventions.
Additionally, AI models predict disease outbreaks, aiding in effective public health management. In the realm of surgery, AI-enhanced robotic systems assist in performing precise, minimally invasive procedures, improving surgical outcomes and offering personalized rehabilitation solutions. Collectively, these advancements demonstrate AI’s profound impact on enhancing the quality and efficiency of medical care.
