‘Extra pair of eyes’: Chinese University of Hong Kong team says AI helps junior doctors better spot colon tumours in cancer fight

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s medical faculty have found that artificial intelligence (AI) can help less experienced doctors spot tumours more accurately during colonoscopies.

AI was especially good at helping them identify smaller growths called adenomas, which might otherwise go undetected, said Dr Louis Lau Ho-shing, an assistant professor of medicine and therapeutics.
