AI screening of nuclear medicine safety breaches: patterns, causes, and opportunities for improved protocols: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Annals of nuclear medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine differs from other specialties of radiology by employing unsealed radionuclides. Moreover, it may heighten the risks of incidents for nuclear medicine healthcare professionals (NMHP). On the other hand, artificial intelligence (AI) methods improve their ability to assess, understand, and prevent these incidents. This systematic review examines the critical incidents affecting NMHP and reviews the potential of AI in improving, controlling, and evaluating the occupational exposure, to predict and prevent these accidents. A systematic search of PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and the NLM was conducted using the keywords and Mesh terms, with no language restrictions. A protocol based on PRISMA guidelines was developed. To streamline both the search strategy and the study selection process, EndNote X7.8 was employed. 49 studies were reviewed. The primary causes of incidents in nuclear medicine are due to inadequate handling of radionuclides, malfunctioning equipment, and the loss or theft of radioactive sources. Furthermore, our research highlights the potential of AI algorithms to facilitate better identification of radioactive sources, radiation dose optimization, and strengthen the decision-making processes during potentially hazardous incidents. Our systematic study intervenes to improve the role of AI in the surveillance and improvement of the occupational exposure situation for NMHP. In addition, AI tools can contribute to better decision-making in real time during nuclear medicine emergency situations. Such advancements underscore the crucial need for ongoing development and implementation of AI technologies in nuclear medicine to enhance radiation protection for NMHP.
