Generative conversational artificial intelligence (AI) has huge potential to improve medical education. This pilot study evaluated the possibility of using a 'no-code' generative AI solution to create 2D and 3D virtual avatars, that trainee doctors can interact with to simulate patient encounters. ⋯ By providing trainees with realistic scenarios, this technology allows trainees to practice answering patient questions regardless of actor availability, and indeed from home. Furthermore, the use of a 'no-code' platform allows clinicians to create customized training tools tailored to their medical specialties. While overall successful, this pilot study highlighted some of the current drawbacks and limitations of generative conversational AI, including the risk of outputting false information. Additional research and fine-tuning are required before generative conversational AI tools can act as a substitute for actors and peers.

We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) images of biopsy needle tract (BNT) tissues for predicting prostate cancer (PCa) and to compare the PCa diagnostic performance of the radiologist model and clinical model. ⋯ The proposed FPN model can offer a new method for prostate tissue classification, improve the diagnostic performance, and may be a helpful tool to guide prostate biopsy.
