New AI detects signs of lung cancer
Doctors, scientists, and researchers at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, The Institute of Cancer Research in London have created an artificial intelligence model that can accurately determine whether abnormal tumors detected on a CT scan are cancerous. This can significantly speed up the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
The team used computed tomography scans of about 500 patients with large lung nodules to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm by analyzing the data from CT scans. This technique can extract important information from medical images that are difficult to see with the human eye. The AI model was also tested to determine whether it could accurately identify cancerous nodules.
According to the study, the algorithm works much more efficiently than existing methods. The model already accurately identifies large lung cancer nodules. The artificial intelligence model can also help doctors make faster decisions about patients with abnormal tumors in the medium risk group.
The development of the model is still at an early stage, and additional tests will be required before it can be implemented in the healthcare system.
