Radiologists assisted by deep-learning based software were better able to detect malignant lung cancers on chest X-rays, according to research published in the journal Radiology.
“The average sensitivity of radiologists was improved by 5.2% when they re-reviewed X-rays with the deep-learning software,” said Byoung Wook Choi, M.D., Ph.D., professor at Yonsei University College of Medicine, and cardiothoracic radiologist in the Department of Radiology in the Yonsei University Health System in Seoul, Korea. “At the same time, the number of false-positive findings per image was reduced.”
I would think quite soon, if the NHSare willing to pay the license fee for the software, the hardware (computers, are already in place) then of course training the staff on how it is implemented. Fingers crossed.
Mentioned this to someone whose son is radiotherapist and his reaction was why not use computer to treat there and then , but that raises the problem of ethics, and also if that happened then there would be no reason for oncologists. I will have to ask how that discussion proceeded and what conclusion they came too, If any.
I dont know the answer to that.
That's a lot of fancy talk, is it not just doing a comparison?
