A group of researchers have managed to create an A.I. that can predict heart attack risk in patients using a single x-ray.
Artificial intelligence can do a lot of things, including diagnosing illnesses from the sound of your voice. Now, though, scientists have also discovered a way to use AI to predict heart attack risk as well as the risk of a stroke using just a single x-ray.
The technology, which is being researched and trained in a special trial designed by the National Cancer Institute in the United States, is called CXR-CVD risk. It also used a second independent cohort of around 11,430 outpatients, all of whom had chest x-rays that were potentially eligible for statin therapy – a type of preventative to help with heart attack risk.
