New AI Tool Scans STORM Images to Distinguish Cancer Cells from Normal Cells

AINU (artificial intelligence of the nucleus) is a deep learning method that can identify specific cellular nuclear signatures at nanoscale quickly and accurately. It can differentiate between normal and cancer cells, identify early-stage infected cells, and rapidly spot changes in DNA arrangements within cells. These abilities could improve diagnostic techniques and allow for quicker disease monitoring thereby improving patient outcomes. However, limitations include the small number of cells STORM imaging can analyze at one time.
