Alarm: Retracted articles on cancer imaging are not only continuously cited by publications but also used by ChatGPT to answer questions

Abstract

One of the most widely used applications of AI in cancer treatment is in the assistance of imaging [[1], [2]]. Imaging is vital for identifying conditions of different kinds of cancer and improving treatment outcomes [[3], [4], [5]]. AI algorithms enhance the interpretation of medical images, leading to more accurate and timely diagnoses of cancer. Machine learning models assist in detecting anomalies in radiology, pathology, and dermatology images, thereby improving diagnostic precision of cancer and patient outcomes. Researchers have contributed to the development of AI methods for medical imaging, including MRI techniques for determining flow and motion [2].
