Medical AI brings together our reporting on machine learning for clinical and biomedical problems, from diagnosis and prognosis to medical image analysis and decision support. Because mistakes in this domain carry a human cost, we pay close attention to evaluation, calibration, uncertainty, and the gap between benchmark numbers and bedside reliability. Expect grounded explainers of recent research rather than uncritical product announcements.

Primary liver cancer stands as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives annually. Despite advances in medical imaging, diagnosing the three distinct subtypes—hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and the rare combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA)—remains a complex challenge that demands both radiological expertise and comprehensive clinical assessment. A revolutionary
