Google has Developed an AI that Detects Lung Diseases

Google has added a new one to its studies in the field of artificial intelligence and developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes images obtained from chest x-rays with the support of India-based hospital chain Apollo Hospitals.

According to the scientific journal Nature, the AI algorithm, trained using thousands of x-ray images, shows performance at the radiologist level. Also, the designed model is able to detect four major lung conditions: pneumothorax (atelectasis), mass, fracture and opacity (nodule).

For the study, more than 600,000 x-ray images were obtained from Apollo Hospitals, a text-based system was developed by using radiology reports associated with each x-ray and more than 560,000 images were analyzed from the data set obtained by Apollo Hospitals.

Google researchers stated that the artificial intelligence algorithm developed can easily detect findings that doctors cannot see, and that the models specify the findings that are frequently missed by radiologists. In some cases, they stated that doctors detected much better than artificial intelligence, and therefore models that combine the skills of both AI and doctors should be developed. Also, they reported that AI applications have a great potential in medical image interpretation.
