LU develops AI tool for early larynx cancer detection
Lucknow, Aug. 6 -- Researchers from the Computer Science department of Lucknow University have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that can detect larynx cancer at an early stage with high accuracy. The study has been published in Scientific Reports, a journal of the Nature Group.
The research was led by prof Puneet Mishra. The team included research scholar Mohammad Usman, Siddharth Chaurasia from Pragnyx Labs and Ginika Mahajan from Manipal University Jaipur.
They developed 'MedLK-SCNet', an AI system for detecting cancer of the larynx, the second deadliest cancer of the respiratory tract after lung cancer.
Prof Mishra said the model analyses Narrow Band Imaging and endoscopic images to identify key microvascular patterns associated with cancer. By reducing computational complexity while capturing fine image details, it helps doctors make faster and more accurate clinical decisions.
"Our goal was to build an AI tool that reaches beyond laboratories and benefits people at the grassroots. 'MedLK-SCNet' will work as an assistive tool for doctors and make early detection of throat cancer easier."...
