AI detects “invisible” signs of pancreatic cancer years before diagnosis
A powerful new AI system could help doctors detect pancreatic cancer years before it becomes visible on conventional scans.
According to ScienceDaily, a powerful new AI system could help doctors detect pancreatic cancer years before it becomes visible on conventional scans.
The technology, called REDMOD, identified hidden warning signs an average of 475 days before diagnosis and was nearly twice as sensitive as experienced radiologists. By spotting cancer-related changes at their earliest stages, it could dramatically improve the chances of successful treatment for one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
