Alibaba open-sources Damo Radar AI for 150 abdominal diseases

Alibaba's Damo Academy has open-sourced Damo Radar, an AI model that detects nearly 150 abdominal diseases, including cancers, from contrast-enhanced CT scans of 18 organs. Across almost 40,000 real-world exams it averaged an AUC of 0.913 on 146 clinical findings, and radiologists using it as an assistant cut missed diagnoses by 10% and diagnosis time by over 30%.
