Now researchers from the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA) have developed an intelligent prediction model to achieve non-invasive screening of Down Syndrome using ultrasound image.
Based on the mechanics of the human brain and its ability to distinguish between different parts of an image, the researchers say the novel system more accurately represents human vision than anything that has gone before.
The researchers analysed a data set containing 112 million blood tests from 1.3 million Danes, 1,123 of whom suffer from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
