Among object detection algorithms, the YOLO family has attracted substantial attention due to its ability to analyze images in real time with reported improvements in detection performance across multiple studies. This systematic review examines the evolution of YOLO algorithms for diagnostic applications in healthcare from YOLOv1 to YOLOv12. Methods: Peer-reviewed scientific articles published up to 1 January 2026 were retrieved from major scientific databases in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The included studies applied YOLO models to medical imaging tasks, including disease and lesion detection and support for clinical procedures. Performance was synthesized using reported metrics such as average precision, accuracy, inference time, and computational efficiency. Results: The reviewed literature suggests progressive architectural refinements associated with reported improvements in diagnostic performance. YOLOv5 and YOLOv8 are the most frequently used architectures in diagnostic settings, reflecting a favorable trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity. YOLO-based methods have demonstrated strong performance across radiological, pathological, ophthalmological, and endoscopic applications. Conclusions: YOLO models have matured into robust and optimized solutions for medical image analysis; however, challenges remain in interpretability, cross-institution generalization, and deployment on edge devices. Future work on explainable YOLO-based diagnostics and energy-efficient model design will be particularly valuable.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics16060935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,23]],"date-time":"2026-03-23T13:53:34Z","timestamp":1774274014000},"page":"935","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A Systematic Literature Review of You Only Look Once Architectures (v1\u2013v12) in Healthcare Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1588-8220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ozgur Koray","family":"Sahingoz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Engineering Department, Biruni University, 34015 Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2303-9410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gozde","family":"Karatas Baydogmus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Loyola University Chicago, Chicago, IL 60660, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7829-8087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emin","family":"Kugu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Software Engineering Department, TED University, 06420 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3478","DOI":"10.1109\/COMST.2025.3599596","article-title":"Radar and Camera Fusion for Object Detection and Tracking: A Comprehensive Survey","volume":"28","author":"Shi","year":"2026","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
