AI models demonstrated strong diagnostic performance, with mean accuracy of 91.3 %, sensitivity of 94.2 %, and specificity of 97.4 %. Support Vector Machines achieved the highest accuracy (96.3 %) and specificity (99.4 %), while K-Nearest Neighbors showed the highest sensitivity (97.1 %). Detection tasks (accuracy 96.1 %, sensitivity 98.5 %) outperformed subtyping tasks (accuracy 87.3 %, sensitivity 91.3 %).
