New AI tool helps create 3D models of tumours

A team at University Health Network in Toronto is using artificial intelligence to create 3D models of tumours for surgeons and patients. Breast cancer patient Adina Isenberg says the models could help patients understand their condition before surgery. Health reporter Katherine Ward looks at how a clearer view of tumours could lead to better outcomes.

• AI is used to build 3D models of tumours
• Developed by a team at University Health Network in Toronto
• Models may serve as a communication tool between physicians and patients before surgery
• Patient Adina Isenberg shares her view on the potential to reduce trauma

A team at University Health Network in Toronto is using the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to help surgeons and patients by creating 3D models of tumours. Adina Isenberg — who was diagnosed with breast cancer nine years ago — says the 3D models could be a big help for patients ahead of surgery. "Seeing the applications of it as a communication tool between physicians and patients... I think just has so much potential in terms of reducing the trauma on the patient," said Isenberg. Health reporter Katherine Ward takes a look at how understanding tumours more clearly could lead to better outcomes.
