Core Tip

Core Tip: Artificial intelligence has been widely applied in tumor diagnosis due to its precise recognition and big-data handling properties, which can relieve the clinicians from the diagnostic workloads. However, this model, to some extent, is rigid, and cannot completely replace the human beings eventually. How to promote and optimize it with real intelligence has a long way to go.
