How AI Helps Doctors Fight Brain Tumors

A team of researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool called CHARM (Computer-aided Human-Rated Malignant) that can help doctors more accurately detect brain tumors. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that CHARM was able to identify brain tumors with a 97% accuracy rate, compared to 87% for human radiologists.

CHARM works by analyzing MRI scans of the brain and identifying patterns that are associated with tumors. The AI tool then generates a score for each scan, which indicates the likelihood of a tumor being present. The scores are then reviewed by radiologists, who can use them to make a more informed diagnosis.
