NHS trials trailblazing' AI and robotics technology to spot lung cancer
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Artificial intelligence and robotic technology could soon determine whether patients have lung cancer as the NHS launches a new pilot to help with quicker diagnoses. The procedure, which is expected to be made available more widely in 2030, is being run by Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust and comes as part of broader efforts to expand lung cancer screening nationwide. The method uses AI to identify abnormal spots or nodules, which is followed by the use of robotic catheters to take precise biopsies."
The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters covering major issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet remains free of paywalls and seeks support from readers who can afford to pay. The NHS is piloting AI and robotic technologies to speed lung cancer diagnosis at Guy's and St Thomas's, using AI to detect nodules and robotic catheters to obtain precise biopsies. About 300 patients have had robotic biopsies, with 215 receiving subsequent cancer treatment. Wider availability is expected by 2030.
