Indian researchers develop AI that detects carpal tunnel syndrome

A analysis crew from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), along with Aster CMI Hospital, has created an AI software that identifies the median nerve in ultrasound movies to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a typical nerve-related dysfunction.

They calibrated a machine-learning mannequin, which was initially developed to concurrently detect dozens of objects in YouTube movies, to detect simply the median nerve. It was educated utilizing ultrasound movies collected from Aster CMI sufferers with CTS and people who should not have the situation. 

The AI mannequin can section the median nerve in particular person frames of an ultrasound video, in addition to routinely measure the cross-sectional space of the nerve, which is often performed by a sonographer manually. 

The researchers at the moment are coaching their AI mannequin to detect all nerves within the higher and decrease limbs. It has additionally been deployed for a pilot check at Aster CMI. 

CU Medicine doubles down on AI for endoscopic coaching

The Chinese University of Hong Kong Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) has just lately performed a research to validate using AI in detecting colorectal most cancers. 

The research examined its AI-assisted endoscopic system which was first launched in early 2021. It was proven that the AI know-how, used as a information by 22 taking part endoscopists-in-training, improved adenoma detection by 40%.

Meanwhile, CU Medicine additionally just lately launched AI-Endo, an AI-enabled surgical help platform for classy endoscopic submucosal dissection procedures that take away early-stage gastrointestinal most cancers tissues. 

The platform, in accordance with Dr Yip Hon-chi, affiliate professor of CU Medicine Department of Surgery, has allowed endoscopists to shorten the coaching time and proved to be a “reliable” software to help the process.
