Can Deep Learning Eradicate Cancer Doctor Shortages?

A CT scan in action. Britain's National Health Service currently faces a critical shortage of cancer doctors, making it increasingly difficult to provide specialist care to seriously ill patients. According to stats from the Royal College of Radiologists, 7.5% of consultant roles at 62 major U.K.-based cancer centers are vacant. Because of this, they've become reliant on overtime. However, Swedish AI firm Peltarion worked with a radiotherapy company to develop a deep learning model that targets tumors for radiotherapy.
