AI Detects Cervical Cancer 5 Years Early
17 Feb
Summary
- AI system detects precancerous cervical lesions five years before tumors.
- Model achieved 94% accuracy, surpassing specialist diagnostic capabilities.
- AI also developed to identify youth anxiety and prevent suicidal tendencies.
Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool in healthcare, with a new learning system capable of detecting cervical cancer up to five years before tumors form. This AI-based colposcopy image analysis identifies precancerous cervical lesions, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment.
Developed by researcher Lalasa Mukku, the system achieved a remarkable 94% accuracy rate, exceeding the diagnostic capabilities of human specialists. The AI analyzes shifts in tissue color, texture, and vascular patterns captured by a colposcope, flagging morphological changes indicative of cancer development.
In addition to its cervical cancer detection capabilities, Ms. Mukku's work also includes an AI project focused on determining anxiety levels in youth. This initiative aims to prevent suicidal tendencies by identifying individuals at risk much earlier, thereby allowing for timely intervention and support.
Ms. Mukku's research has garnered significant recognition, resulting in three national patents and publication in over twenty SCOPUS-indexed journals. Her work on youth mental health was also published in an SCI-indexed journal and presented at an international conference in Dubai in 2023.
