Automated Artificial Intelligence Model Trained on a Large Data Sets
The aims of our case-control study were (1) to develop an automated 3-dimensional (3D) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) on diagnostic computed tomography scans (CTs), (2) evaluate its generalizability on multi-institutional public data sets, (3) its utility as a potential screening tool using a simulated cohort with high pretest probability, and (4) its ability to detect visually occult preinvasive cancer on prediagnostic CTs.

Caught in the crossfire: The critical threats facing cancer centers, research, and patient care. Shannon McWeeney PhD, & Sorena Nadaf-Rahrov MS, MMI
A recent Lancet study demonstrated that AI implementation led to a 29% increase in cancer detection, with no increase in false positives and a reduced workload compared to radiologists without AI assistance. While emerging evidence supports AI’s potential to enhance cancer detection in mammography screening and reduce screen-reading workload, further research is needed to fully understand its clinical impact.

With heavy hearts, we remember and honor Brady Davis, whose sudden passing leaves an immense void. Brady was a devoted supporter and invaluable contributor to the Cancer Center Informatics Society, dedicating countless hours to advancing our mission and strengthening our community. His expertise, enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment shaped our initiatives and inspired everyone fortunate enough to work alongside him. Brady’s legacy will live on through the progress he championed and the connections he fostered. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and all who knew him. He will be greatly missed. In honor of Brady’s legacy, Ci4CC will be forming a committee to explore meaningful ways to memorialize him within our society for years to come. We plan to announce the committee’s recommendations at our Spring Summit in San Diego, CA, on March 31, 2025. Please find his obituary here , and visit his memorial page on MyKeeper to leave a tribute.
