AI Can Now Alter Medical Scans: What Patients Should Know Medical imaging has long been considered one of the most trustworthy sources of diagnostic information. X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are treated as objective evidence that doctors and patients rely on for decisions about treatment. But recent research from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) shows that AI can now create deepfake X-rays that fool both radiologists and AI detection algorithms. This development raises serious questions about the privacy and integrity of your medical images. ...

New AI Privacy Risks in Medical Imaging—What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a standard tool in radiology. It helps radiologists detect cancers, flag fractures, and prioritize urgent cases. But the same technology that improves diagnosis also introduces new privacy risks—some that patients may not be aware of. Recent warnings from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) have highlighted how AI can be used to create convincing fake X-rays, and how medical imaging data is increasingly vulnerable to misuse. ...
