NHS Scotland
Annalise.ai chest X-ray support for lung cancer detection
Early Scottish NHS trial results reported lung cancer treatment starting 9 days sooner
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
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.
