AI diagnoses brain tumors in minutes instead of weeks

AI Summary

Researchers in Heidelberg, Germany have developed an AI system that can diagnose brain tumors with high accuracy within minutes using standard microscopic tissue sections. The technology identifies over 100 molecular subtypes, markedly speeding up brain tumor diagnosis worldwide.

Experts in Heidelberg, Germany, have developed an AI system that can classify brain tumors with unprecedented accuracy using standard microscopic tissue sections. Using digitized standard stains, the system identifies more than 100 molecular subtypes of central nervous system tumors, delivers results within minutes and could accelerate the diagnosis of brain tumors worldwide. The work appears in Nature Cancer.
