Write comprehensive literature reviews for medical imaging AI research. Use when writing survey papers, systematic reviews, or literature analyses on topics like segmentation, detection, classification in CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, or pathology imaging. Triggers on requests for "review paper", "survey", "literature review", "综述", "systematic review", or mentions of writing academic reviews on deep learning for medical imaging.
Write comprehensive literature reviews following a systematic 7-phase workflow.
Initialize project with three core files:
CLAUDE.md - Writing guidelines and terminologyIMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md - Staged execution planmanuscript_draft.md - Main manuscriptFollow the 7-phase workflow (see references/WORKFLOW.md)
Use domain-specific templates (see references/DOMAINS.md)
Topic sentence (main claim)
→ Supporting evidence (citations + data)
→ Analysis (critical evaluation)
→ Transition to next paragraph
Use multi-source strategy for comprehensive coverage:
| Source | Best For | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| ArXiv | Latest DL methods, preprints | search_papers, read_paper |
| PubMed | Clinical validation, peer-reviewed | pubmed_search_articles |
| Zotero | Existing library, organized refs | zotero_search_items |
