Researchers from GoogleAI and Langone Medical Center, Center for Biological Imaging, prepared a deep learning algorithm that used lung cancer’s prior and currently computed tomography scans to predict lung cancer risks. In a comparison study, the AI outperformed radiologist algorithm competed with 6 radiologists to detect potential lung cancer through scan reports. AI model achieved 94% accuracy and a high reduction in reading scan time. The model successfully detected 6716 National Lung Cancer Screening Trial cases and 1139 validated cases, with the same accuracy (94%). Read more
