Artificial intelligence could help ease hospital pressures
Pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) which automatically diagnoses lung diseases – such as tuberculosis and pneumonia – could ease winter pressures on hospitals, University of the West of Scotland researchers believe.
Tuberculosis and pneumonia – potentially serious infections which mainly affect the lungs – often require a combination of different diagnostic tests – such as CT scans, blood tests, X-rays, and ultrasounds. These tests can be expensive, with often lengthy waiting times for results.
