AI spots unidentified brain tumor on PET imaging
By Will Morton
An AI algorithm designed for brain PET imaging found a glioblastoma in a patient that had gone undetected by physicians.
February 20, 2024
Baseline scan (A), segmentation results (B), and follow-up scan (C) from patient with molecular glioblastoma. Baseline MRI showed FLAIR hyperintensities in left thalamus and frontoparietal region (white arrowheads). In contrast to expert segmentation, in which only left thalamic region showed slightly increased uptake (red contour), AI algorithm identified additional frontoparietal lesion on baseline PET that subsequently progressed to contrast-enhancing and metabolically active lesion (red arrowheads).
