AI trained on fake tumors detects cancer early like real

Futurity: Research News July 1, 2024, 03:00 PM UTC

Summary: Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed a method using synthetic tumors to train AI models to detect early-stage cancer. The AI model trained on artificial tumors performs as well as those trained on real tumors. This approach addresses the scarcity of high-quality data for training AI algorithms in cancer detection. The team's method can generate datasets for various organs and aims to streamline AI development for radiologists.
