Ramon y Cajal chooses artificial intelligence to detect prostate cancer

The Ramon y Cajal University Hospital has just completed the project thanks to a collaboration agreement with its Institute of Investigation (IRYCIS) and through Radiological servicesoftware designed to detect prostate cancer at an early stage, which significantly improves the prognosis and treatment disease.

The use of this technology allows advanced analysis images magnetic resonancehighlighting its ability to detect early signs of prostate cancer with unprecedented accuracy. Moreover, it is becoming an important ally for medical workers hospitals, which facilitates faster assessment, which facilitates personalization of treatment for each patient.

MRI scanning has become the standard of care for prostate cancer patients, and the population at highest risk for prostate cancer continues to grow. Integration artificial intelligence in processes diagnosisaims to not only optimize these work processes, but also to improve accuracy and efficiency detection of pathologies in the early stages, which increases the chances of treatment success.

The use of this technology allows for advanced analysis of magnetic resonance images.

The algorithm, which was named QP-Prostate and developed by the company Kibimis a medical product that has CE certification belonging European Union And UKCA approved belonging Great BritainAccording to the head of the radiological service, Dr. Javier Blasquez“with the introduction of this technology into our diagnostic processwe are taking an important step in the fight against prostate cancer, which is the most common and third place in mortality among the male population.

Using Artificial Intelligence Tools in radiology is already a reality, and in the context of prostate cancer, this allows us to optimize our work processes– says Blasquez.

The Radiology Service of the Ramon y Cajal University Hospital is a pioneering service that innovates in its healthcare processes. Its alliance with industrial and organizational engineers stands out, which in 2020 was consolidated by a department at the Polytechnic University of Madrid specializing in innovation process And health technologiesIt is equipped with modern diagnostic imaging technology and integrates the most advanced image analysis and processing tools into its processes.

These efforts reflect Ramon y Cajal’s commitment to continually improving the quality of healthcare, patient safety, and the effectiveness of disease diagnosis and treatment.

It is an international reference center that organizes internships for top-level professionals and an internship center for students. biomedical engineering from different universities in Madrid. He also carries out important research activities, mainly focused on artificial intelligence and radiomicsareas in which he is involved in numerous national projects And Europeans.

Her commitment to innovation in healthcare is reflected in milestones such as the inclusion of diagnostic equipment And interventionist latest technologies, leadership in projects reengineering of care processes of the entire medical center and the creation of an engineering and innovation unit within the service itself. These efforts reflect Ramón y Cajal’s commitment to continuous improvement. Quality of carepatient safety and the effectiveness of disease diagnosis and treatment.
