Researchers have used artificial intelligence to provide a ‘virtual biopsy’ for cancer patients, in a study funded by NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e7rzRbqc This non-invasive method can classify the type of lung cancer and if the cancer is likely to progress. Professor Eric Aboagye, from Imperial College London's department of surgery and cancer, said: “This research shows the potential of using CT scans to gain a deeper, more nuanced understanding of tissue and tumour chemical composition, that has until now only been accessible through direct tissue sampling. This method could prove particularly beneficial in countries like the UK, where lung cancer prevalence is high, and potentially transform diagnostic and treatment protocols.” #LungCancer #Cancer #VirtualBiopsy NHS England
