Guwahati, Mar 4 (PTI) A team of researchers from
Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG), along with
scientists from renowned research institutes around the world,
have designed an automated Artificial Intelligence-based
system to detect colorectal cancer using colonoscopy images.
Results of the work have recently been published in a
prestigious journal belonging to the Nature group - Scientific
Scientists from Cotton University, Guwahati, Harvard University, University of Texas Health Science Centre Houston and Aichi Medical University, Japan have collaborated with the IIT Guwahati professor in this development. Assisted by his then-post doctorate student, Dr Kangkana Bora, who is now an assistant professor at the Cotton University, Prof Bhuyan analysed real colonoscopy images generated by Dr Kunio Kasugai of Aichi Medical University, to develop the AI based cancer detection system

GUWAHATI: Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G), and Cotton University (CU) have achieved a major breakthrough by developing an automated system to detect colorectal cancer with 95.24% accuracy.
The USP of the innovation, for which researchers from Harvard and some globally renowned universities also contributed during the study, is the use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms that have made cancer detection very efficient.
The researchers from the two leading higher education institutions based in Guwahati, have jointly designed an automated AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based system to detect colorectal cancer using colonoscopy images. Colonoscopy is a technique for early detection of colorectal cancer, which has become increasingly popular for early identification and prevention of colorectal carcinoma.
