AI system to help docs spot brain aneuriysms NHK WORLD-JAPAN News

Japan's health ministry has approved the use of a revolutionary piece of artificial intelligence software to help identify brain aneurysms. It is the first time they have approved a deep learning program for use as medical equipment. The system was developed by a Tokyo venture firm called LPIXEL which develops AI software to analyze images. Their EIRL program can process MRI images and flag suspected aneurysms. It also has the ability to learn by itself and keep improving. LPIXEL says the software has outperformed trained radiologists and neurosurgeons in tests.
