qCT by Qure.ai
Benefits
The qCT tool uses artificial intelligence to overlay CT scans with AI-generated insights, highlighting the size and growth of lung nodules over time. This helps clinicians assess whether a nodule is stable, growing, or shrinking—critical information for determining urgency and type of follow-up or treatment required. The AI also retrieves prior CT images for comparison, streamlining the monitoring process and improving clinical decision-making. Since implementation, approximately 1,200 chest CT scans are being processed weekly across the region.

- PenRAD successfully bid for funding from the government's £21m Artificial Intelligence Diagnostic Fund (AIDF) to test an AI tool designed to detect lung nodules on CT scans. After evaluation of available technologies, PenRAD led a procurement process supported by Health Innovation South West and the Peninsula Cancer Alliance. Qure.ai was selected to provide its qCT software for an initial two-year period. Current contracts are due to expire in winter 2026/27. [Source]
