Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often detected late, when symptoms have already progressed and options to slow decline are more limited. Chest radiographs are common in everyday care yet are not used to diagnose COPD. A deep learning model called CXR-Lung-Risk, originally trained to estimate long-term lung-related mortality from...Read more

Cancer imaging and image-guided procedures are central to prevention, diagnosis and treatment, yet they carry a sizeable environmental load. Medical imaging is estimated to account for nearly 1% of the global carbon footprint. Environmental degradation increases cancer risk, disrupts care pathways and worsens outcomes, creating feedback between...Read more
