A study presented at the European Respiratory Society’s International Congress has revealed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could improve the interpretation of lung tests. This study is among the many in the recent years that have used AI to improve detection of diseases. And, many of them are achieving near-human efficiency in detecting deadly diseases. …

Researchers from VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam have developed an automated machine that can identify dementia in early stages. They have coupled machine learning methods with a special MRI technique — that measures perfusion, or tissue absorption rate, of blood throughout the brain — to detect early forms of dementia. Their …

A research team from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method, aimed at training computers to interpret pathology images. The team trained the computer to distinguish between cancerous tumor regions and normal regions based on a deep multi-layer convolutional …
