Med3D: Faster, smarter AI for 3D medical scans

Doctors and researchers often lack enough scans to train smart systems, so a team put together many scans and made Med3D, a tool that learns general shapes inside 3D images.
By using pre-trained models the trick is simple: teach once on many cases, then adapt quickly to new tasks.
That means the same system can learn to find problems in lungs or livers with much less data, it learns faster, and works better.
In tests Med3D gave faster training, cutting the time by half compared with some other pre-trained models, and around ten times faster than starting from nothing, so researchers save time and cost.
The results also show better accuracy—improvements from a few percent up to double digits, in some tasks.
On liver scans the approach reached about 94.
6%
accuracy, which is close to top results.
This helps hospitals and scientists get reliable tools sooner, with fewer labeled scans.
Imagine quicker, smarter tools that spot trouble in 3D scans—now becoming more real, and ready to help.
