- The technology is currently available in 56 hospitals across England. It turns CT scans into personalized 3D images analyzed using AI to assess coronary artery blockages. The tool can also suggest the size and position of stents for patients who need them. A nationwide study funded by the Medical Research Council showed the benefits are felt equally by all patients regardless of location. [Source]
