A new AI tool can diagnose brain tumours with 95% accuracy. This tool, called Deploy, uses deep learning to analyze histopathology images. It could significantly speed up diagnosis and improve outcomes in Nigeria.

A new AI tool has been discovered to diagnose brain tumours with an astonishing 95% accuracy. If marketed globally, this tool could help speed up the detection of brain tumours for many Nigerians. According to the World Health Organisation, Nigeria recorded 1798 new cases of brain tumour, which were 50% more cases than the average five-year prevalence.

The system, developed by the Australian National University and the National Cancer Institute in the US, utilizes deep learning to predict DNA methylation and categorize brain tumors into 10 major types. This innovation is expected to revolutionize the diagnostic process, which traditionally takes weeks, especially in settings where advanced DNA profiling is unavailable .

Dubbed “Deploy,” this US-Australian collaboration utilizes AI to analyze histopathology images of patient tissue, as initially detailed in Nature Medicine. Cur.
