Aresearch team at Newcastle University in the UK and Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will initiate a 250-patient study after research showed how AI can improve the treatment and outcomes of laryngeal cancer.
Amar Rajgor and his team at Newcastle University used pre-biopsy, contrast-enhanced CT scans from 72 advanced larynx cancer patients, analysing them with AI radiomics software called LIFEx. Radiomics is a field of medical study that involves the extraction and analysis of quantitative features from medical images such as CT scans, MRI scans, or PET scans.
