A computer program can detect brain cancer

Компьютерная программа может обнаруживать рак мозгаA computer program developed by a group of researchers headed by scientists from India, will help to overcome cancer.

According to preliminary estimates, it’s 2 times more efficient than their counterparts.

The program can find the dead brain cells caused by the radiation, called radiation necrosis of the pathology tissues even at the MRI images. Neuroradiology provides a particular advantage in the study of brain cancer. This was reported by the author of the study. At the time of diagnosis the MRI is difficult to determine which neuron is already extinct, so the new technology is able to fix the situation. With further confirmation of the accuracy of the study, able to explore every tiniest fragment of the brain. Brain biopsy is currently the only definitive test, but there is a risk of re-radiation and a sharp deterioration of the human condition.

In order to develop the program, the researchers used machine learning algorithms in combination with data of radiology were used to find factors of the disease with. To create a high level technology we had to analyze the condition of the 43 patients. Based on them and created special algorithms for the study of the brain.

Testing has shown that the program is wrong in 20% of cases.
