NSF Science Now: Episode 46

The video covers three main topics: a study on shark feeding patterns and tooth characteristics, the use of crowdsourcing to improve test question quality, and the development of AI tools to detect recurring cancer in MRI scans. Researchers at the University of Washington found that different shark species have unique feeding patterns and tooth longevity. Harvard University explored crowdsourcing as a method to enhance test questions, proving it to be effective and efficient. Case Western Reserve University developed AI tools that outperform radiologists in identifying cancerous tissues, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies.

Describe how the new computational tools developed by Case Western Reserve University assist in identifying cancerous lesions.

What are the potential benefits of using the computer program developed for MRI scans in clinical settings?
