AI 'Co-Pilot' accelerates cancer diagnosis
Doctors in West Yorkshire are now using AI to read chest X-rays, making it easier and quicker to catch lung cancer and infections. This tech, funded by the NHS, is rolling out across 64 trusts in England to help patients get diagnosed and treated sooner.
TL;DR
AI can detect 124 conditions in chest X-rays
Built by Annalise.ai, the software can pick up on 124 different things in a chest X-ray—like signs of cancer or serious infections. It helps doctors by giving them annotated images for quick decisions.
AI could help NHS tackle backlog of patients
This AI checks over 2.8 million chest X-rays every year—about one out of every three done in England. By speeding up diagnoses and reducing backlogs, it could mean more people get help early. It's a big step as the NHS brings more AI into healthcare to make things smoother for everyone.
