Good news! Amazing stuff! Cancer is history (soon)!
"Hours in surgery, weeks in hospitals and months of recuperation – or a five-minute procedure under local anesthesia and straight back home with no side effects. ...
Techsomed, a medical imaging startup, allows physicians for the first time to see exactly what’s happening in real time while they destroy (or ablate) a tumor using targeted heat through a needle.
Thermal ablation therapy, a minimally invasive procedure for small tumors, has huge benefits over surgery or chemotherapy for the patients. ...
Their theory was that if they fed the AI enough ultrasound images, it could translate bubble activity into a clear picture of what was happening during the procedure.
And, critically, to predict what would happen over the next 24 hours, when the tumor continued responding to the aftereffects of the ablation.
It took seven years and $25 million. They adapted algorithms used to stabilize missiles, and technology from many other fields, to interpret ultrasound images. ..."
