Google Research Launches CT Foundation for 3D Medical Imagery Analysis Using UCLA's NLST and LIDC-IDRI Datasets

Oct 23, 2024, 03:31 PM

Google Research has introduced the CT Foundation, a novel AI endpoint designed to enhance the analysis of CT scans. This new tool builds upon previous advancements in medical imaging, particularly in the area of 2D imaging such as chest radiographs and dermatology. The CT Foundation utilizes AI embeddings to facilitate the efficient interpretation of 3D medical images, including MRIs and CT scans. Researchers at UCLA have also contributed to this field, developing a foundation model that can analyze 3D medical imagery more quickly than human experts. The initiative leverages datasets such as NLST and LIDC-IDRI to streamline the analysis of axial CT data, marking a significant step forward in medical imaging technology.
