Artificial intelligence and robotics help Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist physicians better predict and diagnose lung cancer
A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool is helping physicians at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist better predict and diagnose lung cancer in patients.
Wake Forest Baptist was the first academic medical center in the U.S. to begin using this technology, which is still not widely available across North Carolina and much of the country.*
Through training on more than 70,000 computerized tomography (CT) scans, the AI tool can predict the likelihood of lung cancer based on imaging nodule characteristics … (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care News Headlines)
