The first uses of artificial intelligence in the fight against cancer

British doctors and engineers were able to develop a tool (algorithm) based on artificial intelligence that can detect cancerous tumors with high accuracy and thus contribute to its early detection, which is the first step in treating malignant disease.

The system was developed at the Royal Marsden Institution, the Institute of Cancer Research, London, and Imperial College, so that it can read radial images in CT scans.

The system was trained using radiographic images of about 500 patients suffering from lung cancer cells, according to the British Daily Mail, so that the algorithm became able to distinguish potential tumors and read radiographic images in areas that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so that the model was tested to determine if it could Determine the location of the tumor with great accuracy.
