Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer. About 10-20% of lung cancers occur in non-smokers. Those who have never smoked cigarettes or have smoked less than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. In research, researchers have tried to detect lung cancer in non-smokers using this test. This is made possible by AI. The device can identify lung cancer in never-smokers based on chest X-rays from electronic medical records.

X-ray will check

Deep learning is an excellent form of AI that will examine X-rays to find patterns associated with disease. This test will only require an X-ray, which is one of the most common chest examinations.

Thus prepared input

The CXR-Lung-Risk model will obtain information about lung-related mortality risk based on a chest X-ray image as input. It was developed using chest X-rays of 40,643 smokers and 1,47,497 occasional non-smokers. In general terms, this AI device will be able to screen for high risk of lung cancer in never-smokers using chest X-rays present in electronic medical records.
