“If we get a similar hit rate in detecting texture in tumors, the potential for early diagnosis is huge,” says scientist.

"The AI is exceptionally good at picking up these materials even when they're hidden inside other objects," said Sandro Olivo, study lead author from the UCL's Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering."Even if we hide a small quantity of explosive somewhere because there will be a little bit of texture in the middle of many other things, the algorithm will find it.

Although the researchers have not yet tested whether the technique can successfully distinguish the texture of a tumor from surrounding healthy breast tissue, they are excited about the possibility of detecting very small tumors that would have previously gone undetected behind a patient's rib cage. Small amounts of explosives, such as Semtex and C4, were concealed by the UCL team inside electrical appliances like computers, hair dryers, and cell phones to closely resemble a traveler's bag. The products were put inside bags together with toothbrushes, chargers, and other everyday items.
