Artificial intelligence (AI) and its subset, machine learning, have tremendous potential to transform health care, medicine, and population health through improved diagnoses, treatments, and patient care. However, the effectiveness of these technologies hinges on the quality and diversity of the data used to train them. Many datasets currently used in machine learning are inherently biased and lack diversity, leading to inaccurate predictions that may perpetuate existing health disparities.

This commentary examines Topological Data Analysis (TDA) in radiology imaging, highlighting its revolutionary potential in medical image interpretation. TDA, which is grounded in mathematical topology, provides novel insights into complex, high-dimensional radiological data through persistent homology and topological features. We explore TDA's applications across medical imaging domains, including tumor characterization, cardiovascular imaging, and COVID-19 detection, where it demonstrates 15-20% improvements over traditional methods.

Our commentary proposes the application of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in the design of decision-analytic models, offering researchers a valuable and structured tool to enhance transparency and accuracy by bridging the gap between causal inference and model design in medical decision making.The practical examples in this article showcase the transformative effect DAGs can have on model structure, parameter selection, and the resulting conclusions on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.This methodological article invites a broader conversation on decision-modeling choices grounded in causal assumptions.
