Doctors can use artificial intelligence to determine your chance of lung cancer with a single CT scan.
Researchers recently created Sybil, an AI model that can predict someone's future lung cancer risk from a single CT scan. A study on the model and the algorithm itself was developed by the Mass General Cancer Center and MIT. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society. The society estimates about 127,070 deaths from lung cancer will occur in the U.S. in 2023.The study on Sybil found the model can detect lung cancer risk with good accuracy, and predict things doctors can't see. Sybil was validated using three different data sets, which consisted of more than 20,000 CT scans.
"One of the questions I sometimes get is 'Will this replace the physician?' And it will definitely not," he said.
