Short answer
Not a single studyNo clear answer.
The article covers a research area rather than reporting a specific new paper, so there is no single study to check it against.
Checked against the study summary. The full text wasn't available, so some details couldn't be settled either way.

Claim 1 of 7Not checkedAI models in radiology could improve imaging analysis, speed diagnoses, and catch errors, but most are trained on adult data and do not translate well to infants and children.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedmost models are trained on adult data
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 2 of 7Not checkedRao and colleagues reported a new study in Nature Biomedical Engineering showing that adult-trained radiograph models can be adapted for infants using data from multiple hospitals without sensitive information leaving each institution.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 3 of 7Not checkedThe researchers started with a model trained to assess whether breathing tubes were placed correctly and trained it sequentially on data from 30 neonatal intensive care units across 20 countries and territories.View evidenceHide evidence
As stated2,965 chest X-rays from 30 neonatal intensive care units across 20 countries and territories
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 4 of 7Not checkedThe new model outperformed adult models trained on pediatric data from a single hospital at 29 of 30 sites, even on that hospital's own images.View evidenceHide evidence
As stated29 of 30 sites
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 5 of 7Not checkedThe fully trained model identified endotracheal tube tip location with an average error of 0.67 cm, compared with 1.29 cm for single-institution pediatric adaptations and 4.30 cm for adult models.View evidenceHide evidence
As stated0.67 cm, 1.29 cm, 4.30 cm
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 6 of 7Not checkedThe authors said the approach could potentially be generalized to other adult-trained AI models and to other underrepresented patient populations, not just pediatrics.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 7 of 7Not checkedThe article identifies the paper as Vishwanatha M. Rao et al., 'Repurposing adult AI radiograph models for neonatal care through continual learning: an international multicentre study,' published in Nature Biomedical Engineering in 2026.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Method layer
No single source study was found.
NewsLink still surfaces nearby research so you can inspect the field instead of a single paper.
