Problem

Delays in diagnosis could postpone lung cancer treatment. Difficulty recruiting radiologists added pressure to services in the Aberdeen area.

Approach

NHS services trialled Annalise.ai's chest X-ray system across 12 Scottish clinical sites from 2022. The system supported radiologists in identifying suspected disease. Early results reported in 2024 compared treatment timing and the frequency of treatable-stage cancers.

Results

9 daysshorter time to treatment, from 57 to 48 days, in early results reported by Harrison.aiVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The early results linked imaging support with treatment timing. Harrison.ai's estimate of future patients diagnosed earlier remained conditional on those results holding.
