Researchers at the Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD) at Case Western Reserve University have used artificial intelligence to identify patterns on CT scans that offer new promise for treating patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). SCLC represents about 13% of all lung cancers, but grows faster and is more likely to spread than non-small cell lung cancer.

While a lot of AI research has been performed on non-small cell lung cancer, little work has been done on SCLC, according to CCIPD Director Anant Madabhushi, the Donnell Institute Professor of…
