Engineers from the University of 蓝莓视频 are harnessing artificial intelligence to help doctors better see and control a non-invasive cancer treatment and, in the process, save lives.

Their imaging system will allow for the safer and more effective use of high-intensity, focused ultrasound to destroy a wide range of cancerous, often deadly, tumours.

鈥淲e are addressing a huge challenge for focused ultrasound treatment,鈥 explained project leader Moslem Sadeghi Goughari, a research associate in the university鈥檚 Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. 鈥淥ur imaging system can tell doctors exactly how much of a cancerous tissue is destroyed. And it鈥檚 the first AI-powered ultrasound technique developed for focused ultrasound treatment.鈥
