Medical Imaging Review

Medical Imaging AI Literature Review Skill

Write comprehensive literature reviews following a systematic 7-phase workflow.

Quick Start

1. Initialize project with three core files:

   • CLAUDE.md - Writing guidelines and terminology
   • IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md - Staged execution plan
   • manuscript_draft.md - Main manuscript

2. Follow the 7-phase workflow (see references/WORKFLOW.md)

3. Use domain-specific templates (see references/DOMAINS.md)

Core Principles

Writing Style

• Hedging language: "may", "suggests", "appears to", "has shown promising results"
• Avoid absolutes: Never say "X is the best method"
• Citation support: Every claim needs reference
• Limitations: Each method section needs a Limitations paragraph

Required Elements

• Key Points box (3-5 bullets) after title
• Comparison table for each major section
• Performance metrics: Dice (0.XXX), HD95 (X.XX mm)
• Figure placeholders with detailed captions
• References: 80-120 typical, organized by topic

Paragraph Structure

Copy code
Topic sentence (main claim)
  → Supporting evidence (citations + data)
  → Analysis (critical evaluation)
  → Transition to next paragraph

Literature Sources

Use multi-source strategy for comprehensive coverage:

For MCP configuration details, see references/MCP_SETUP.md.

Method Description Template

markdownCopy code
### 3.X [Method Category]

[1-2 paragraph introduction with motivation]

**[Method Name]:** [Author] et al. [ref] proposed [method], which [innovation]:
- [Key component 1]
- [Key component 2]
Achieves Dice of X.XX on [dataset].

**Limitations:** Despite advantages, [category] methods face:
(1) [limit 1]; (2) [limit 2].

Citation Patterns

markdownCopy code
# Data citation
"...achieved Dice of 0.89 [23]"

# Method citation
"Gu et al. [45] proposed..."

# Multi-citation
"Several studies demonstrated... [12, 15, 23]"

# Comparative
"While [12] focused on..., [15] addressed..."
