Is Your Therapist Using AI to Track Sessions? What You Can Do About It A recent investigation by the Los Angeles Times has shed light on a practice many patients may not be aware of: mental health providers using AI tools to analyze therapy sessions, often without explicit patient consent. The report, published June 22, 2026, describes AI systems that can process spoken language, detect emotions, summarize session notes, and even assign risk scores—all while the patient assumes their words are heard only by the therapist. ...

Doctors Are Using More AI — Here’s How One Health Network Is Protecting Your Data Introduction Artificial intelligence tools are showing up in more clinics and hospitals. Doctors use them to draft notes, suggest diagnoses, schedule appointments, and even analyze medical images. For patients, this raises an obvious question: what happens to their personal health information when it passes through an AI system? ...

AI in Medical Imaging: A Privacy Risk You Need to Know About Artificial intelligence can now analyze X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans faster than many radiologists. It catches subtle findings that human eyes might miss, and in some cases it can even predict disease before symptoms appear. But the same technology that improves diagnosis also creates new privacy risks for patients. As AI becomes a standard part of radiology, the sensitive data inside medical images is being handled in ways most people are not aware of. ...

Medical Imaging AI Raises Privacy Red Flags: What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is transforming how doctors read X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. Algorithms can now spot tumors, measure organ size, and even predict future health risks from a single image. But the same technology that speeds diagnosis also creates new ways for your personal health data to leak, be re-identified, or sold without your knowledge. ...

The Privacy Risks of AI in Medical Imaging: What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is changing how medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are interpreted. AI tools can help radiologists detect diseases faster and more accurately. But along with these benefits, there are growing concerns about patient privacy. A recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that AI in medical imaging opens what it calls a “Pandora’s box” of privacy-related risks. If you have ever had a medical scan, it is worth understanding what is at stake. ...

How Medical Imaging AI Could Expose Your Private Health Data — and What to Do About It Artificial intelligence is transforming radiology. Algorithms now help detect tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities faster than a human eye might catch them, sometimes with higher accuracy. But the same technology that powers these advances also creates new risks for patient privacy. A recent study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2026 meeting revealed that deepfake X‑rays can fool both radiologists and the AI systems meant to catch problems. This is not a hypothetical threat. Real medical images are being used to train AI models, and the safeguards around that data are often weaker than patients assume. ...

How AI in Medical Imaging Could Expose Your Private Health Data (And What to Know) Medical imaging has quietly become one of the most promising fields for artificial intelligence. Algorithms can now help radiologists spot tumors, measure organ sizes, and flag abnormalities faster than ever. But a recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that these same tools also introduce serious privacy risks—some of which patients and providers are only beginning to understand. ...

Your Medical Scans Could Be Used by AI: What You Need to Know About Privacy Risks Artificial intelligence is becoming a standard tool in radiology. Hospitals and clinics now routinely use AI to help detect tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities in X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. The technology can speed up diagnoses and reduce human error, and for many patients, that’s a clear benefit. ...

Medical AI and Your Privacy: What to Know About Imaging Risks Artificial intelligence tools are becoming routine in medical imaging—helping radiologists detect tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities faster than ever. But the same technology that improves diagnosis also introduces new privacy risks for patients. Recent reports from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) suggest these risks deserve more attention than they’ve received. ...

AI in Medical Imaging: The Privacy Risks You Should Know About A new study shows AI-generated X-rays can fool radiologists—and that’s just the start of the problem. If you’ve had an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan, those images are now digital. And like any digital data, they can be copied, altered, or leaked. The difference is that medical images are deeply personal—they reveal not just your bones and organs but your identity, your health history, and sometimes your genetic information. ...
