Mercy Radiology, a New Zealand-based imaging provider, has plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to help with the detection of prostate cancer.
According to a new report from Newshub, Mercy Radiology is looking to begin its trial run with AI algorithms “in the next few months.” The provider’s plan is for the AI to work in the background while radiologists work like normal.
