Dr Lal PathLabs
QiAI Lymph Node Dx for lymph node metastasis detection
Dr Lal PathLabs said its AI module found lymph node micrometastases that manual review missed
Problem
Small clusters of cancer cells in lymph nodes are hard to spot on slides by eye.
Approach
The lab adopted QiAI Lymph Node Dx from Qritive, a deep-learning module that scans digital slides for metastasis and micrometastasis. It was tested on breast, colon, stomach and oesophageal cancer cases. The lab said it is the first in India to adopt the module.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The lab said immunohistochemistry later confirmed the extra findings. It gave no sensitivity, specificity or sample sizes.

Source summaries
The trade outlet reports the lab's adoption of the Qritive module. It says the tool found single-cell and micrometastases missed in manual review, confirmed later by IHC, and gives no performance numbers.
