A government-backed study in South Korea has developed an AI in medical imaging that has shown privacy-protecting capability.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

A research team led by Asan Medical Center (AMC), the country’s biggest hospital, created a deep learning model for diagnosing kidney disease from kidney CT images, which were encrypted using a method called homomorphic encryption. This method is an international standard for secure post-quantum cryptography that allows real-time computation and analysis of fully encrypted data without opening, according to AMC.

A baseline model was first built using 12,446 unencrypted renal CT images representing normal, cystic, and tumour cases. This model was...
