AI Program Could Aid Decision-Making in Medical Imaging

Researchers are developing a first of its kind neural network that explains itself and could help with decision-making in the medical field, among others. Raytheon BBN Technologies is developing the neural network under the Defense Research Project Agency's (DARPA) Explainable Artificial Intelligence program (XAI). The aim of the XAI program is to create a suite of machine learning techniques, which produce more explainable models while maintaining a high level of performance. It also aims to help human users understand, appropriately trust and effectively manage the emerging generation of artificially intelligent partners. More...

Tetris-Like Program Could Speed Up Breast Cancer Detection

A fully automated medical image analysis program to detect breast tumors that uses a unique style to focus on the affected area is being developed by researchers from the University of Adelaide’s Australian Institute for Machine Learning. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the autonomous program in conjunction with an MRI scan employs the traversal movement and style of a retro video game to examine the breast area. More...

Researchers Develop AI Algorithm to Predict Immunotherapy Response

A team of French researchers have designed an algorithm and developed it to analyze Computed Tomography (CT) scan images, establishing for the first time that artificial intelligence (AI) can process medical images to extract biological and clinical information. The researchers have created a so-called radiomic signature, which defines the level of lymphocyte infiltration of a tumor and provides a predictive score for the efficacy of immunotherapy in the patient.

Image: Assistant Professor Ulas Bagci leads the group of engineers at the University of Central Florida that have taught a computer how to detect tiny specks of lung cancer in CT scans, which radiologists often have a difficult time identifying. The artificial intelligence system is about 95 percent accurate, compared to 65 percent when done by human eyes, the team said (Photo courtesy of the University of Central Florida, Karen Norum).

AI System Accurately Detects Lung Cancer in CT Scans

Engineers from the University of Central Florida's Computer Vision Research Center have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system which can detect tiny specks of lung cancer in CT scans. Radiologists find it difficult to identify such tiny tumors and have an accuracy of 65%, while the AI system has an accuracy of about 95%, according to the engineers. More...
