Cancer Detection Technology Powered by AI

Helmholtz Central Tissue Engineering, Institute for Regenerative Medicine has developed an algorithm called Deep MACT. This algorithm developed is able to detect the smallest cancer cell with artificial intelligence in a fully transparent tissue or subject made fully transparent. It also holds great hope to research and develop cancer and cancer drugs. The DeepMACT algorithm can detect metastases 300 times faster than the detection method performed manually. With DeepMACT technology, the detection work, which lasts for months, can be completed in seconds in a much more detailed and accurate manner. In respect thereof, Dr. Ali Ertürk gave information about DeepMACT imaging technology, while emphasizing that tissues can be examined in much more detail and that effective drugs specific to the person can be developed with this technology. Dr. Ertürk said that “This is based on the imaging techniques we have developed. We make the tissues transparent, for example, we can make the mouse fully transparent. By scanning it with laser scanning microscopes, we see the cancer cells in billions of cells and by analyzing it with artificial intelligence, we can monitor how cancer spreads and its progress, also I believe that our study will soon increase the success rate in cancer drug research and development from 5 percent to 30 percent. This technology, for example, will contribute to a detailed study of tissue or parts taken from a human biopsy to a single cell and to develop an effective drug specific to the person.
