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