AI reads CT scans to spot liver cancer before It's too late
NCT ID NCT06859840
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests an AI tool called LEAF that helps doctors analyze CT scans of the abdomen to find liver cancer early. Researchers will use scans from 10,000 patients with confirmed liver tumors to train the AI to better detect cancer. The goal is to improve early screening and give patients a better chance at successful treatment.

- Active substance
- LEAF AI model (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help doctors spot liver cancer earlier and more accurately, potentially saving lives through timely treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study using past data, not a real-world test. The AI may not perform as well in different hospitals or with diverse patients.
