It’s easy for lung doctors to find larger nodules that are developing into cancer, but often when discovered, those cancerous nodules have advanced too far and the doctors can’t save the patients’ lives. Now there’s an AI that can help doctors identify smaller cancerous nodules earlier. The earlier the detection, the higher the likelihood of patient survival.
What are the implications? Not only does this identify the cancerous nodules earlier and increase life expectancy, but it also saves doctors up to four and a half hours a day in analyzing scans—time that can be used to research cancer treatments and to better treat and communicate with patients.
