AI techniques are being explored to derive real-world evidence from routine medical imaging and reports. Image segmentation algorithms can identify tumors and organs in medical images. Natural language processing of radiology reports containing over 700,000 structured records dating back to 2009 has mapped patterns of metastatic disease and generated real-time survival curves for different cancers using only the uncurated data. Further development aims to uncover true response rates, map cancers of unknown primary back in time, and generate hypotheses for clinical trials to potentially expedite research. Addressing issues around data biases, identity, and social justice will be important to responsibly develop these techniques.
