New AI study for breast cancer treatment funded by Google Health
Google Health and Northwestern Medicine have joined forces to launch a new research study to explore whether AI models could be used to reduce the time to diagnosis of breast cancer. With 10-15% of mammograms requiring additional diagnostic review, the two partners are counting on AI technology to help prioritize mammograms that require further review […]
Machine Learning Optimises Lung Cancer Treatment Decisions
Researchers have developed a model that is 71% more accurate in predicting the survival expectancy of lung cancer patients. The results show that machine learning has the potential to assist health professionals in their decisions about treatment of the disease. The Penn State Great Valley research team conducted a study in which they developed a […]
