A joint research initiative between IIT Kharagpur and AIIMS Delhi has produced an AI model capable of detecting rare cancers from biopsy slides and MRI scans with 96% accuracy. The tool is designed to assist doctors in early-stage identification of difficult-to-diagnose cancers like bile duct and thymic carcinoma. It uses a multimodal approach combining image analysis, genomic data, and patient history. Trials are underway across 10 major hospitals. The government plans to deploy the model in 300 district hospitals within two years.
