WebMRIQC: A Web-Based Implementation of MRIQC for Accessible MRI Image Quality Assessment in Resource-Constrained Settings

Reliable quality control (QC) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for reliable diagnostic neuroimaging, yet standard manual assessment is subjective and time-consuming. MRIQC has established standardized automated extraction of image-quality metrics (IQMs), but its reliance on local computational imaging skills and capacity including high-performance computing, limits its adoption in resource-constrained settings (RCS). We present WebMRIQC (webmriqc.mailab.io), an open-source browser-based platform that wraps the validated MRIQC engine behind a zero-installation web interface. WebMRIQC automates the DICOM-to-BIDS conversion of de-identified MRI scans, executes the unmodified containerized MRIQC pipeline on a shared compute node governed by a fair-share job queue, and returns an interactive in-browser dashboard. The dashboard grounds every IQM in published quality thresholds, benchmarks each scan against the normative distribution of high-resource open datasets, and supports cross-site multicentre implementation of optimized scan protocols in RCS.We describe the system architecture and a validation framework establishing measurement equivalence between WebMRIQC and native MRIQC across thirteen IQMs on the BraTS-Africa and BraTS 2021 datasets. Preliminary results indicate strong agreement for contrast-, signal and noise-based metrics, demonstrating that web-based implementation lowers the barrier to standardized MRI QC and provides a foundation for harmonized, regionally adapted quality benchmarks across RCS imaging sites. The code is publicly available here https://github.com/CAMERA-MRI/WebMRIqc.

Prepared Or Unprepared? Evaluating Healthcare Workforce Readiness for Clinical Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into healthcare systems worldwide, yet its successful clinical adoption depends critically on workforce readiness, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where infrastructural and training gaps persist. This cross-sectional study evaluated awareness, attitudes, preparedness, and barriers to AI adoption among 761 healthcare professionals across multiple disciplines and practice settings in Nigeria. Data were collected between December 2025 and March 2026 using a structured, validated questionnaire. Overall awareness of AI in healthcare was high (92.6%); however, objective knowledge and self-reported preparedness remained limited, with 40.9% reporting low or very low knowledge and only 63.0% feeling adequately prepared. Willingness to adopt AI was high: 92.5% expressed interest in training, and 78.7% supported inclusion of AI education in undergraduate curricula. Key barriers included lack of training (84.7%), poor infrastructure (71.1%), high cost of AI tools (61.0%), fear of job displacement (60.6%), ethical concerns (52.9%), and data privacy concerns (52.7%). Significant differences in preparedness were observed across geopolitical zones (chi-square (5) = 24.28, p < 0.001), and awareness differed across professional groups (chi-square (6) = 68.38, p < 0.001). Attitudes toward AI differed significantly across professional groups (F = 3.32, p = 0.003), with professionals who felt prepared demonstrating more positive attitudes (mean = 3.74) compared to those who did not (mean = 3.46). These findings reveal a critical disconnect between high awareness and actual readiness, underscoring the need for targeted training, infrastructure investment, and clear implementation frameworks to bridge the gap between AI technological potential and clinical reality in resource-constrained settings.

From Manuals to Maintenance: Fine-Tuning MedGemma for Multi-Modal Imaging System Support in Low-Resource Settings

Imaging device downtime is a major barrier to healthcare delivery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), often driven by limited access to specialized biomedical engineering support. We present a multi-modality medical equipment maintenance question-answering (QA) framework and demonstrate the fine-tuning of a medical foundation model for specialized technical troubleshooting tasks. Guided by a multi-country survey across nine LMICs, we curated technical manuals from MRI and ultrasound systems to generate the INGENZI_DatasetV1, containing 10,294 high-quality, filtered QA-context pairs. Using QLoRA-based parameter-efficient fine-tuning, we adapted the MedGemma-4b-it model to interpret system error logs and generate step-by-step equipment repair instructions. Compared to the baseline model, the fine-tuned system achieved substantial improvements across metrics, including F1 score (0.22 to 0.38), ROUGE-2 (0.18 to 0.41), and BERTScore F1 (0.86 to 0.91). These metric gains demonstrate that the model generates significantly more precise and procedurally accurate technical responses to new troubleshooting queries. This work establishes a reliable foundation for AI-assisted diagnostic and maintenance tools in resource-constrained settings.

Empowering Medical Equipment Sustainability in Low-Resource Settings: An AI-Powered Diagnostic and Support Platform for Biomedical Technicians

In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), a significant proportion of medical diagnostic equipment remains underutilized or non-functional due to a lack of timely maintenance, limited access to technical expertise, and minimal support from manufacturers, particularly for devices acquired through third-party vendors or donations. This challenge contributes to increased equipment downtime, delayed diagnoses, and compromised patient care. This research explores the development and validation of an AI-powered support platform designed to assist biomedical technicians in diagnosing and repairing medical devices in real-time. The system integrates a large language model (LLM) with a user-friendly web interface, enabling imaging technologists/radiographers and biomedical technicians to input error codes or device symptoms and receive accurate, step-by-step troubleshooting guidance. The platform also includes a global peer-to-peer discussion forum to support knowledge exchange and provide additional context for rare or undocumented issues. A proof of concept was developed using the Philips HDI 5000 ultrasound machine, achieving 100% precision in error code interpretation and 80% accuracy in suggesting corrective actions. This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential of AI-driven systems to support medical device maintenance, with the aim of reducing equipment downtime to improve healthcare delivery in resource-constrained environments.
