地道表達(dá)
1.Google’s DeepMind has developed artificial intelligence to diagnose diseases by analysing medical images, in what could be the first significant application of AI in healthcare.
2.London-based DeepMind has crunched data from thousands of retinal scans to train an AI algorithm to detect signs of eye disease more quickly and efficiently than human specialists.
[crunch]對(duì)其進(jìn)行數(shù)學(xué)運(yùn)算;處理;(用計(jì)算機(jī)或電腦)運(yùn)算。
[algorithm]算法;運(yùn)算法則;
[detect] v. 洞察;查明;探查;(detection-n. 查明;探查)3.Findings have been submitted to a medical journal by the company after “promising signs” from a two-year partnership with the National Health Service and London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital, one of the best-known in the world for ophthalmology. The technology could enter clinical trials in a few years if results pass a peer review by academics.

[peer review] 同行評(píng)議4.“In areas like medical imaging, you can see we’re going to make really tremendous progress in the next couple of years with artificial intelligence,” Dominic King, clinical lead for DeepMind Health, told the Financial Times.
[tremendous]極大的,巨大的;驚人的;極好的5.DeepMind’s algorithm has been trained using anonymised 3D retinal scans provided by Moorfields and painstakingly labelled for signs of disease by doctors. The DeepMind division has now begun discussing clinical trials with hospitals including Moorfields.
[anonymised]匿名的;
[painstakingly]細(xì)心地;專注地;辛苦地;(assiduously;exhaustively;meticulously)
[labelled]標(biāo)記
[division] 部門;除法;分配;分割;師(軍隊(duì));賽區(qū)(divisive引起分歧的;導(dǎo)致分裂的)6.Because the images provide rich data with millions of pixels of information, the algorithm can learn to analyse them for signs of three of the biggest eye diseases: glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.
[pixels] 像素(px)
Peng Tee Khaw, director of research and development at Moorfields, said: “I am optimistic that what we learn from this research will benefit people around the world and help put an end to avoidable sight loss.”
The artificial intelligence is “generalised”, according to Dr King, meaning it can be applied to other kinds of images. DeepMind said the next stage would involve training the algorithm to analyse radiotherapy scans, through a partnership with University College London Hospitals, and mammograms, in partnership with Imperial College London.

[retinal scans]視網(wǎng)膜掃描
[glaucoma]青光眼
青光眼是眼壓超越了眼球內(nèi)部組織,特別是視神經(jīng)所能承受的限度,引起特征性的視神經(jīng)萎縮和視野缺損。
青光眼檢查眼壓是最基本的檢查項(xiàng)目,前房角檢查主要用來區(qū)分閉角型青光眼和開角型青光眼,立體眼底照像和視野檢查在青光眼診斷中具有重要作用,是診斷青光眼的金標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
[diabetic retinopathy]糖尿病視網(wǎng)膜病變
糖尿病性視網(wǎng)膜病變是糖尿病在眼睛的一種并發(fā)癥,累及部位為視網(wǎng)膜微血管,微血管受到高血糖的慢性損傷,會(huì)閉塞,導(dǎo)致視網(wǎng)膜缺血缺氧,進(jìn)而形成增殖性病變,使視網(wǎng)膜受到嚴(yán)重破壞。
檢查排除,單純查眼底鏡,二期以上眼底熒光造影檢查,4-6期查眼部彩超。
[age-related macular degeneration]老年黃斑變性
多見于60歲以上老年人,視物減退,視物變形。
