CERN trains AI models to revolutionize cancer treatment


The advances developed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research have already been applied to 10,000 stroke patients in hospitals in Germany and Belgium

Luigi Serio — responsible for developing AI applications in healthcare — acknowledges that the laboratory known for discovering antimatter — which also created the world’s first website — isn’t the only one using this data processing model. CERN aims to enhance linear radiotherapy accelerators (LINACs) with artificial intelligence to make them easier to use and more accessible in low- and middle-income countries. New AI-based software will help predict failures, speed up maintenance and guide users, while reducing downtime at radiotherapy facilities, which are now often unused due to a lack of skilled personnel.
