A report from the North East London NHS reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) is being implemented in local hospitals to expedite X-ray results for cancer detection, cutting wait times from three weeks to three days. This initiative aims to quickly identify lung cancer and facilitate prompt treatment, ultimately enhancing patient survival rates. The AI software has been deployed in major acute hospitals in north-east London, alongside a three-year advanced AI screening program. Although promising, experts note that AI adoption in NHS is still nascent, with many projects pending routine integration.
