AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH PHILADELPHIA – A machine learning-based tool was able to predict the risk of malignancy among patients presenting with multiple pulmonary nodules and outperformed human experts, previously validated mathematical models, and a previously established artificial intelligence tool, according to results published in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. Tools...

New AI tool can thwart coronavirus mutations
by University of Southern California This transmission electron microscope image shows SARS-CoV-2 — also known as 2019-nCoV, the virus that causes COVID-19 — isolated from a patient in the US. Virus particles are shown emerging from the surface of cells cultured in the lab. The spikes on the outer edge of the virus particles give coronaviruses...

Robust artificial intelligence tools to predict future cancer
Researchers created a risk-assessment algorithm that shows consistent performance across datasets from US, Europe, and Asia. To catch cancer earlier, we need to predict who is going to get it in the future. The complex nature of forecasting risk has been bolstered by artificial intelligence (AI) tools, but the adoption of AI in medicine has been...

Automated AI algorithm uses routine imaging to predict cardiovascular risk
by Brigham and Women’s Hospital Credit: CC0 Public Domain Coronary artery calcification—the buildup of calcified plaque in the walls of the heart’s arteries—is an important predictor of adverse cardiovascular events like heart attacks. Coronary calcium can be detected by computed tomography (CT) scans, but quantifying the amount of plaque requires radiological expertise, time and specialized equipment....

Cancer can be precisely diagnosed using a urine test with artificial intelligence
NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IMAGE: The set of sensing signals collected for each patient were then analyzed using ML to screen the patient for PCa. Seventy-six urine samples were measured three times, thereby generating 912 biomarker signals or 228 sets of sensing signals. We used RF and NN algorithms to analyze the multimarker signals....
