“There’s been a lot of enthusiasm about AI in medical imaging, and it may well have the potential to revolutionize modern medicine: however, there are potential pitfalls that must not be ignored,” said Dr. Anders Hansen from Cambridge’s department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics, in a statement. “We’ve found that AI techniques...
