NHS To Offer Same-Day Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Using New AI Technology | Julia Hartley Brewer

Описание: Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is using AI technology to analyse MRI scans and detect prostate cancer within minutes, NHS England says. High-risk scans are sent for priority review, with patients offered same-day biopsies.

The AI system, called Pi and developed by Lucida Medical, aims to cut long waits and speed up diagnosis. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the trial will reduce distressing delays and improve outcomes.

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK, affecting one in eight men, yet there is no national screening programme. Fourteen other NHS trusts are also testing the AI system.
