"Virtual biopsies" may be the future of understanding brain tumors

Artificial intelligence is being used increasingly in medicine to make services more efficient and improve patient care. Now, researchers in Boston plan to use the technology to perform "virtual biopsies" of brain tumors. The goal is to help patients like Steven Hibbert, who considered himself a healthy guy until one day life changed on a dime. "I was just kind of sitting there, reading the paper, and went into a seizure," Hibbert told CBS Boston's Dr. Mallika Marshall. The 55-year-old Cape Cod resident was rushed to the hospital and got the news no one wants to hear. He had a brain tumor.
