Penn Medicine's AI Model Detects Hidden Diseases in 400,000 CT Scans
Penn Medicine researchers developed Percival, an AI model trained on 400,000 CT scans from 50,000 patients that detects hidden diseases beyond the original scan purpose. The model identifies conditions like atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, and pancreatic cancer more reliably than existing AI tools, enabling opportunistic screening for early detection of diseases.
