AI with Chest X-Ray: A Low Cost Alternative to CT Screening in LMIC

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the significance of lung cancer as a leading health burden and the challenges of early detection through chest x-rays. In Singapore, lung cancer screening isn't a national program, and early-stage diagnosis remains rare. The high incidence and mortality rates, especially in Asia, underscore the need for better detection methods. The talk highlights the limitations of CT scans, including radiation risks and false positives, and the challenges in identifying cancerous nodules on x-rays due to various errors. Artificial intelligence (AI) is suggested as a tool to enhance detection accuracy, aiding radiologists in identifying lung cancer effectively.
