New R01 Awarded to Medical Physics Faculty Lo, Lafata to Study AI Tools for CTs

Kyle Lafata, PhD, is a co-investigator on a newly awarded $2.3 million, four-year R01 grant by the NIH/NCI through Radiology titled "Computer-Aided Triage of Body CT Scans with Deep Learning." The PI is Radiology and Medical Physics faculty member Joseph Lo, PhD; the multidisciplinary team also includes Duke faculty members Cynthia Rudin, PhD, and Sheng Luo, PhD. "This project will develop AI tools for chest, abdomen and pelvis CTs, simultaneously triaging 17 different organ systems for over 100 diseases," said Dr. Lafata. "The goal is to improve both workflow and performance for radiologists."
