Here comes the acronym buster
LLM models = large language models
AI = artificial intelligence or augemented intelligence
PSA = prostate-specific antigen

I'm sure I didn't have to spell out PSA, but I thought I better be consistent. You guys in the prostate group are prolific acronym users and I've decided to declare myself the acronym buster. I'll happily go into early retirement if you should decide to help me out by spelling out acronyms. 🙂

So, back on topic:
Mayo Clinic is commited to investigating the use of AI in health care. The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics (AI&I) is a research department that supports Mayo Clinic's artificial intelligence and informatics strategies.

Here's a prostate cancer specific clinical trial in progress:
- A Study to Evaluate Contouring Organs at Risk for Treatment Planning https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials/cls-20511050

And a few articles how AI assists in cancer:
- Advancing ultrasound microvessel imaging and AI to improve cancer detection

- Mayo Clinic to deploy and test Microsoft generative AI tools

- Mayo Clinic’s AI innovation inspires hope in early detection of pancreatic cancer

It's a promising area.

I support Colleen's goal of having those who post to spell out your acronyms. Another suggestion is to reread your comment before you post to ensure that it makes sense.

I am so pleased you brought the acronym issue to the surface. As a person with a new health issue, I joined this form to learn more about my disease. I almost left because of the effort it took to find the meaning of many acronyms. Again, Thank You.
