Entering the era of photorealistic AI-generated medical images.

Wenjia Xie · Postgraduate medical journal · 2026
Background

Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated medical images are reaching photorealistic quality, which could help medical education within visually driven specialties such as ophthalmology and dermatology.

Purpose

We aim to prepare young doctors for a future AI-integrated healthcare environment.

Results
medical students' higher accuracy in identifying eye infections after artificial intelligence training
n = 37,
More results

Such technology may make customizable teaching materials more accessible.

However, as real and generated images become harder to distinguish, several concerns emerge.

To address these challenges, we propose a three-stage human-machine collaborative framework.

More results

Stage 1 uses AI-generated disease images for static feature recognition, Stage 2 simulates disease trajectories for dynamic clinical reasoning, and Stage 3 integrates supervised human-machine collaborative diagnosis for real-world decision-making.

Conclusion

We aim to prepare young doctors for a future AI-integrated healthcare environment.
