Google developers said this week that the company has trained algorithms to analyze CT scans to find early signs of lung cancer.
At the Google I/O developer conference, Google said its AI model could identify early signs of lung cancer in patients who later developed the disease despite five out of six radiologists missing the signs of the disease. The study will soon be published in the journal Nature Medicine.
“Very early stage cancer is minuscule and can be hard to see, even for seasoned radiologists, which means that many patients with late-stage lung cancer have subtle signs on earlier scans,” Lily Peng, a product manager at Google Brain AI Research, said at the conference.
