Doctors, scientists and researchers have built an artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify cancer, in a development they say could speed up diagnosis and treatment, reports Al-Qabas daily.<\/p>\n
Cancer causes 10 million deaths annually, or nearly one in every six deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, reports Al-Qabas daily.<\/p>\n
However, in many cases, the disease can be cured if detected early and treated quickly, and the artificial intelligence tool, which was designed by experts at the Royal Madison Foundation Trust, the Institute of Cancer Research London and Imperial College London, can determine whether abnormal tumors shown by CT scans are cancerous or not.<\/p>\n
According to a study published in The Guardian newspaper, the algorithm works more efficiently and effectively than existing methods.<\/p>\n
“We hope that this technology will improve early detection and improve the chances of treating the disease in the future,” said Dr. Benjamin Hunter, Professor of Clinical Oncology at the Foundation and Clinical Research Fellow at Imperial.<\/p>\n
The team used CT scans of about 500 patients with major lung complications to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm, using radiology.<\/p>\n
This technology can extract vital information from medical images that are not easily detected by the human eye. Then the AI \u200b\u200bmodel was tested to determine if it can accurately identify cancer cells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
