AI Applied to Micro-Ultrasound Could Speed Cancer Detection
Cambridge Consultants and Exact Imaging are working together to improve the way prostate cancer is visualized and detected by applying deep learning to high-resolution micro-ultrasound imaging. This can help identify potential suspicious regions of tissue and inform urologists who may want to consider this additional data in their biopsy protocol. The early results of their work have been promising. More...24 Sep 2018

AI Program Could Aid Decision-Making in Medical Imaging
Researchers are developing a first of its kind neural network that explains itself and could help with decision-making in the medical field, among others. Raytheon BBN Technologies is developing the neural network under the Defense Research Project Agency's (DARPA) Explainable Artificial Intelligence program (XAI). The aim of the XAI program is to create a suite of machine learning techniques, which produce more explainable models while maintaining a high level of performance. It also aims to help human users understand, appropriately trust and effectively manage the emerging generation of artificially intelligent partners. More...24 Sep 2018

Tetris-Like Program Could Speed Up Breast Cancer Detection
A fully automated medical image analysis program to detect breast tumors that uses a unique style to focus on the affected area is being developed by researchers from the University of Adelaide’s Australian Institute for Machine Learning. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the autonomous program in conjunction with an MRI scan employs the traversal movement and style of a retro video game to examine the breast area.
