Early lung cancer diagnosis using Artificial Intelligence and Big Data
Lung cancer is the most lethal cancer. Early detection by Computed Tomography (CT) significantly improves survival. Unfortunately, radiologists often struggle to determine if a lung nodule is malignant, leading to delayed diagnosis costing thousands of lives per year and millions of unnecessary, stressful and risky CT follow-ups, biopsies and surgeries.
Lung Virtual Biopsy enables earlier, more confident and cost efficient lung cancer diagnosis, using the existing CT scanner available in almost every modern hospital, machine learning, and a vast database of CT scans.
