Here's Today's Feel-Good Story:
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology have developed a new artificial intelligence deep learning model that, using a single low-dose CT scan, can predict lung cancer risk up to six years in advance.
Extremely difficult to find the disease early, lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the world and results in more deaths than the next three cancers combined.
“We found that while we as humans couldn’t quite see where the cancer was, the model could still have some predictive power as to which lung would eventually develop cancer.” said study co-author Jeremy Wohlwend.
