Diagnosing Brain Tumors Using Artificial Intelligence - Novus Light Today

The classification of brain tumors – and thus the choice of optimal treatment options – can become more accurate and precise through the use of artificial intelligence in combination with physiological imaging. This is the result of an extensive study conducted by the Karl Landsteiner University for Health Sciences (KL Krems). Multiclass machine learning methods were used to analyze and classify brain tumors using physiological data from magnetic resonance imaging. The results were then compared with classifications made by human experts. Artificial intelligence was found to be superior in the areas of accuracy, precision and misclassification, among others, while professionals performed better in sensitivity and specificity. Brain tumors can be easily detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but their exact classification is difficult in this way.
