Early lung cancer diagnosis and reporting partner, Aidence, launched a new study called INPACT which will be used jointly with their research partners and aim to provide results by the end of 2022 – this study aims to understand if radiologists make better decisions with AI. Their co-founder, Jeroen van Duffelen, also published a very interesting article explaining why the algorithm is only a fraction of the work when it comes to medical devices. The biggest news for Aidence in this last quarter as been their acquisition by RadNet, ‘a national leader in high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services’ which is a big step towards accelerating AI solutions for the oncology pathway.
