Researchers at Harvard's Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) have developed a new AI model called CHIEF (Clinical Histopathology Imaging Evaluation Foundation) for cancer pathology. This model, led by Dr. Kun-Hsing Yu and his colleagues, offers support for the accuracy of diagnosis, prognosis, and response to various treatments. CHIEF has been tested on 19 different cancer types, demonstrating a flexibility comparable to large language models like ChatGPT. The model enhances diagnostic techniques by identifying significant features that may be overlooked by even experienced human eyes. The findings are detailed in a Nature research paper.
