Case Study: Applying RCL to Medical Imaging 

RCLC is a derivative of Random Contrast Learning (LuminaRCL) that specializes in classification. Lumina’s research is primarily concentrated in medical imaging, given RCLC’s ability to tackle classification problems of several shapes. 

AI in Radiology

Radiology is well positioned for the application and adoption of artificial intelligence.

 

  • Workloads in radiology have substantially increased in the last 20 years with the advent of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications Systems), increased utilization of advanced cross sectional imaging with much larger sets of data to analyze, voice recognition software and self-editing, and an overall increase in the number of imaging studies read¹.
  • Other factors contributing to a sense of work overload include long work days with increased after hours responsibilities, greater expectations for report turnaround times, conflicting demands on time (clinical, academic, administrative), and inadequate staffing¹.
  • Nearly two-thirds (61%) of radiologists suffer from burnout, up from 36% in 2013 to 49% in 2017.

  • AI excels in analysis of images, with radiology having an established digital workflow and universal standards for image storage¹.
  • Although the penetration of AI in the U.S. market is currently estimated to be only 2%, the readiness of radiologists and the potential of the technology indicate that further translation into clinical practice is likely to occur
  • The FDA has approved 200+ commercial AI applications².

    • 30% of radiologists use AI clinically,
    • 70% have no plans to pay for AI,
    • 80% of those not using AI see “no real benefit.³”

Research

In recent testing, LuminaRCL‘s classification algorithm was nearly perfect in its identification of malignant and benign tissue in the identification of breast cancer in biopsy images.

Recent Work

Lumina has applied RCLC to classify benign and malignant tissues in breast cancer biopsy images, lymph node biopsy images, and brain cancer MRI images.
