Abstract

The pace of innovation with AI is stunning. Take a look at a study at Northwestern Medicine, which involved a collaboration with Google AI. The project used over 42,000 CT lung scans from more than 14,000 patients to train an AI model (the process only took about ten minutes). The bottom line: The model did better than a radiologist when detecting cancer and there was a 11% reduction in false positives.
