New AI System Performs as Well as Expert Pathologists in Identifying Prostate Cancer
Researchers at the Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden) and Tampere University (Tampere, Finland) have developed a method based on artificial intelligence (AI) for histopathological diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer. The AI-system has the potential to solve one of the bottlenecks in today's prostate cancer histopathology by providing more accurate diagnosis and better treatment decisions. A study conducted by the researchers showed that the AI-system was as good at identifying and grading prostate cancer as world-leading uro-pathologists. More...24 Feb 2020
