AI Algorithm Uses Key Signatures to Predict Onset of AD

A team of researchers has designed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that learns signatures from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), genetics, and clinical data to accurately predict cognitive decline leading to Alzheimer’s disease. The algorithm can help predict whether an individual’s cognitive faculties are likely to deteriorate towards Alzheimer’s in the next five years. More...

Breast Cancer Screening Machine Learning Software Receives CE Mark

A new deep learning-based breast cancer screening software has received the CE mark and will be launched within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) and European healthcare systems. The software has been developed by Kheiron Medical Technologies, a start-up that combines novel deep learning methods, data science, and radiology expertise to enable diagnostics designed to detect cancers and improve patient outcomes.

Scientists Use Machine Learning and MRI Scans to Predict Learning Difficulties

A team of scientists from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge used machine learning - a type of artificial intelligence - with data from hundreds of children who struggle at school to identify clusters of learning difficulties, which did not match their previous diagnosis. According to the researchers, this reinforces the need for children to receive detailed assessments of their cognitive skills to identify the best type of support. More...

Utilization of X-Ray Mammography Systems Expected to Increase

Over the last 20 years, hospitals and imaging centers in the developed economies have adopted X-ray mammography systems for the screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. This has resulted in a significant reduction in mortality and encouraged emerging countries to make investments in population-base, organized screening. These significant investments in mammography technology have paved the way for radiation safety, patient comfort and 3D imaging that enables precise tumor detection. More...

AI Tool Identifies Cancer Type and Changes in Lung Tumor

Researchers from the NYU School of Medicine have developed a new computer program that can analyze the images of patients' lung tumors, specify cancer types, and even identify altered genes driving abnormal cell growth. In their study, the researchers found that the artificial intelligence (AI), or "machine learning," program could distinguish -- with 97% accuracy -- between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, two lung cancer types that experienced pathologists at times struggle to parse without confirmatory tests. Additionally, the study found that the AI was also able to determine from analyzing the images whether the abnormal versions of six genes linked to lung cancer – including EGFR, KRAS and TP53 – were present in cells, with an accuracy ranging from 73% to 86%, depending upon the gene.
