Deep X-ray images created by artificial intelligence are so convincing that they fool both doctors and AI models. In tests, radiologists had limited success in identifying fake images. Especially when they didn't know deepfake images were being displayed. This situation opens the door to risks such as fraudulent medical claims. Another risk is falsified diagnoses. Experts emphasize the need for stronger protection tools. Advanced detection tools are also essential. As technology advances, these measures become critical.
