Chicago: A new study suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) may help predict the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers.
According to media reports, American researchers in Chicago said that the artificial intelligence “CXR-Lung-Risk” program examines routine chest X-ray images to look for patterns associated with lung cancer.
People whose chest X-rays were flagged by the AI program had a double the risk of lung cancer after further research, according to findings presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago.
Dr. Michael Lowe, co-director and senior researcher at the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center, director of artificial intelligence at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said the AI tool opens the door to screening opportunities for people who have ever smoked. No, but they may be at risk of lung cancer.
