India is making a giant leap forward in revolutionising cancer diagnosis through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for lung screening in public hospitals. Given that lung cancer is among the most common cancers causing deaths, and it is usually diagnosed at a very late stage, the purpose of this innovation is to detect cancer early and treat it.

This innovative technology relies on the power of AI to examine chest X-rays and CT scans. Through machine learning, AI tools are able to scan millions of medical images and spot any slight signs like tiny nodules and unusual tissue formations.

The technical side of such solutions is based on a combination of AI algorithms and deep learn...
