Novel AI technique able to distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiation necrosis, York U study finds

While targeted radiation can be an effective treatment for brain tumours, subsequent potential necrosis of the treated areas can be hard to distinguish from the tumours on a standard MRI. A new study led by a York University professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering found that a novel AI-based method is better able to distinguish between the two types of lesions on advanced MRI than the human eye alone, a discovery that could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.

York research: AI better than human eye at predicting brain metastasis outcomes

Lassonde engineers create novel technique they hope will provide cancer patients and clinicians with better, faster information  A recent study by York University researchers suggests an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technique they developed is considerably more effective than the human eye when it comes to predicting therapy outcomes in patients with brain metastases. The team […]
