Dr Women’s Hospital of Brigham and Omar Arnaout and a team of researchers are developing an AI algorithm capable of identifying brain tumours to create a virtual biopsy. The team is using thousands of MRI scans to build up a dataset, aiming to enable doctors to offer accurate prognoses to patients and, in some cases, eliminate unnecessary surgery. Dr Arnaout hopes to have the software ready within the next year.
