Alibaba's medical AI catches missed liver tumors
Alibaba DAMO Academy just unveiled DAMO LiON, a liver cancer diagnostic AI model published in Nature Medicine. In a real-world trial of over 10,000 patients, the tool cut physician reading times by 27%, boosted malignancy detection sensitivity by 11.5%, and caught 51 previously overlooked lesions averaging just 1 cm. Why it matters: it helps junior doctors match senior specialists in spotting tricky, early-stage cancers.
