Google has teamed up with Department of Defense to develope an AI-powered microscope to help doctors spot cancer.
How this microscope works is that it enhances the ‘heat map’ in the field of view when likely cancer tissue is placed in the sample space and is observed under it. The heat map helps a viewer, a doctor, characterize the sample as it directs their attention to areas of interest that are particularly likely to be cancerous.
The AI factor comes in when the digital images captured by the microscope’s camera are supplied to a computing unit. The compute unit includes a machine learning pattern recognizer trained on large data sets - in this case, microscope slide images of cancerous specimens. The pattern recognizer is trained to identify regions of interest in an image, like cancerous cells or tissue, viruses or bacteria, eggs from parasites, etc.
There exist 13 ARMs in the world, one operational at a Mitre facility just outside of Washington, DC. Mitre is a nonprofit that works with government agencies to tackle big problems involving technology, said the CNBC report.
