• Abstract summary: In clinical reality, only few diseases are common, whereas the majority of diseases are less frequent. Current AI models overlook or misclassify these diseases. We propose a deep anomaly detection approach that only requires training data from common diseases to detect also all less frequent diseases.

• Abstract: While previous studies have demonstrated the potential of AI to diagnose diseases in imaging data, clinical implementation is still lagging behind. This is partly because AI models require training with large numbers of examples only available for common diseases. In clinical reality, however, only few diseases are common, whereas the majority of diseases are less frequent (long-tail distribution). Current AI models overlook or misclassify these diseases. We propose a deep anomaly detection approach that only requires training data from common diseases to detect also all less frequent diseases. We collected two large real-world datasets of gastrointestinal biopsies, which are prototypical of the problem. Herein, the ten most common findings account for approximately 90% of cases, whereas the remaining 10% contained 56 disease entities, including many cancers. 17 million histological images from 5,423 cases were used for training and evaluation. Without any specific training for the diseases, our best-performing model reliably detected a broad spectrum of infrequent ("anomalous") pathologies with 95.0% (stomach) and 91.0% (colon) AUROC and generalized across scanners and hospitals. By design, the proposed anomaly detection can be expected to detect any pathological alteration in the diagnostic tail of gastrointestinal biopsies, including rare primary or metastatic cancers. This study establishes the first effective clinical application of AI-based anomaly detection in histopathology that can flag anomalous cases, facilitate case prioritization, reduce missed diagnoses and enhance the general safety of AI models, thereby driving AI adoption and automation in routine diagnostics and beyond.

  We introduce a rare disease question-answering (ReDis-QA) dataset to evaluate the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in diagnosing rare diseases. We collected 1360 high-quality question-answer pairs within the ReDis-QA dataset, covering 205 rare diseases. We then benchmarked several open-source LLMs, revealing that diagnosing rare diseases remains a significant challenge for these models. Experiment results demonstrate that ReCOP can effectively improve the accuracy of LLMs on the ReDis-QA dataset by an average of 8%.

There were 80 models of interest, including 37 diagnostic models, 22 prognostic models, and 21 models with other diagnostically relevant outcomes. All models were found to be at high or unclear risk of bias overall, with most research having a high risk of bias in the analysis.
