Google DeepMInd and University College London Hospitals (UCLH) are working together to see whether machine learning could improve treatment times and the efficiency of radiotherapy in treating head and neck cancer. Using AI in the segmentation process - differentiating between cancerous and healthy tissue - could reduce the time required from four hours to up to 700, allowing clinicians to spend more time on patient care and/or education and research.
