AI is as good as pathologists at diagnosing Celiac disease, study finds

  • On March 28, 2025, HealthDay News reported that a new AI program developed at Cambridge can improve the diagnosis of celiac disease.
  • Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting as many as 1 in 100 people, involves the immune system attacking the digestive system upon gluten consumption, leading to small intestine damage and often taking years for accurate diagnosis, with only about 30% of cases properly diagnosed.
  • Researchers trained the AI tool on nearly 3,400 biopsies, including more than 4,000 images from U.K.'s National Health Service hospitals, to identify celiac disease.
  • The AI program correctly identified celiac disease in 97 out of 100 cases and ruled out the disease in nearly 98 out of 100 cases, leading lead investigator Florian Jaeckle to state that this is the first time AI has been shown to diagnose as accurately as an experienced pathologist.
  • Researchers, including Elizabeth Soilleux and Florian Jaeckle, believe the AI has the potential to speed up diagnoses, free up pathologists' time, and ease pressure on healthcare systems, while 80-year-old Liz Cox, who suffered nearly 30 years before her celiac diagnosis, hopes the AI will help others get diagnosed more quickly, concluding "once you've been diagnosed and you know you can't have gluten, then you know what to do, and you feel so much better.
