Project

AI Detects Lung Cancer

Project #5110

I coded an AI model that can identify whether or not a lung is cancerous or non-cancerous in lung CT scans. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and early cancer detection is vital for a higher chance of survival. Finding cancer in CT scans is difficult, time consuming, and prone to human error. My model is designed to assist doctors and be a reliable second opinion when a particularly difficult case arises. This way, doctors won’t have to worry as much about misdiagnosis, and patients won’t, either.
