  • Scientists in the UK are developing an AI software system that can scan x-rays as soon as they are taken.  It's called X-raydar and could be a medical gamechanger.  Here are some key facts:
  • Has a 94% accuracy rate
  • Developed by a group of UK scientists at King's College London, Warwick University and the NHS
  • Provides automated scanning of x-rays.
  • Reports the x-rays using computer vision
  • Flags possible conditions & abnormalities
  • Gives percentage probability of the abnormalities it spots
  • Trained to identify 37 medical conditions
  • Understands the seriousness of conditions and flags urgent ones
  • Found to be as accurate as and even better in reading chest x-rays than radiologists
  • Uses large language model
  • Trained on millions of x-rays
  • Creators have open-sourced their AI software to speed development
  • X-raydar  is specifically designed to cut doctors' workloads and reduce x-ray reading delays
  • This is an important new AI breakthrough area that investors may want to delve deeper into for the potential as it develops.
