Australian AI tool diagnoses endometriosis in 18 milliseconds
EndoFusion, an Australian AI tool, finds endometriosis from pelvic scans in 18 milliseconds with 83 percent accuracy.
Australian researchers at Adelaide University developed EndoFusion, an AI tool that finds endometriosis from pelvic scans in 18 milliseconds. The breakthrough had 83 percent accuracy in trials.
Endometriosis affects one in seven Australian women. Getting a diagnosis takes an average of eight years now.
It often requires invasive surgery. Associate Professor Jodie Avery said the technology could change care for many women.
But the team needs more funding. The federal government will release a new online resource for GPs on Thursday.
It will guide doctors on how to better find and treat endometriosis. The new tool could help women start treatment sooner and manage their pain.

Why it mattersWomen with endometriosis could get faster diagnosis and earlier treatment. This would end years of undiagnosed pain and uncertainty.
