AI reads MRI scans to spot hidden sarcomas
NCT ID NCT06073314
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors tell the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous soft tissue lumps using MRI scans. 186 patients with soft tissue masses had extra MRI images taken. The AI was trained to identify which lumps were sarcoma and how aggressive they were. The goal is to make diagnosis faster and more accurate without needing a biopsy every time.
