AI identifies Non-Smokers at High Risk for Lung Cancer

Using a routine chest X-ray image, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can identify non-smokers who are at high risk for lung cancer, according to a study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. The American Cancer Society estimates about 238,340 new cases of lung cancer in the United States this year and 127,070 lung cancer deaths.

Medical AI Tool from UF, NVIDIA gets Human Thumbs-Up in First Study

A new artificial intelligence (AI) computer program created by researchers at the University of Florida and NVIDIA can generate doctors' notes so well that two physicians couldn't tell the difference, according to an early study from both groups.

In this proof-of-concept study, physicians reviewed patient notes - some written by actual medical doctors while others were created by the new AI program - and the physicians identified the correct author only 49% of the time.

Study Reveals Bias in AI Tools when Diagnosing Women's Health Issue

Machine learning algorithms designed to diagnose a common infection that affects women showed a diagnostic bias among ethnic groups, University of Florida researchers found.

While artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer great potential for improving health care delivery, practitioners and scientists warn of their risk for perpetuating racial inequities.

Researchers Take New AI Approach to Analyze Tumors

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab in Sweden have combined artificial intelligence (AI) techniques used in satellite imaging and community ecology to interpret large amounts of data from tumour tissue. The method, presented in the journal Nature Communications, could contribute to more personalised treatment of cancer patients.

Printed Robots with Bones, Ligaments, and Tendons

3D printing is advancing rapidly, and the range of materials that can be used has expanded considerably. While the technology was previously limited to fast-curing plastics, it has now been made suitable for slow-curing plastics as well. These have decisive advantages as they have enhanced elastic properties and are more durable and robust.

Artificial Intelligence: Unexpected Results

Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise. Until now, AI applications generally have "black box" character: How AI arrives at its results remains hidden. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bajorath, a cheminformatics scientist at the University of Bonn, and his team have developed a method that reveals how certain AI applications work in pharmaceutical research.

Software Created from 'Building Blocks' could Incorporate AI, Supporting Medical Staff with Workflow and Disease Management

New 'building-block' approaches to the creation of digital tools which include data and artificial intelligence (AI) could play a key role in improving the running of hospital wards and disease management, according to the findings of new research.

The study, by Dr Robert Free at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), suggests that using a package of digital 'building-blocks' to
