AI Identifies Non-smokers at High Risk for Lung Cancer

Imaging Technology

For the study, CIRC researchers set out to improve lung cancer risk prediction in never-smokers by testing whether a deep learning model could identify never-smokers at high risk for lung cancer, based on their chest X-rays from the electronic medical record. The high-risk group well exceeded the 1.3%
