A new study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences has investigated how low doses of ionizing radiation, that can affect tissues and organs near a tumour during cancer treatment, may influence the formation of pre-metastatic niches in the lungs. This process involves changes in the lung tissue that make it more receptive to disseminated breast cancer cells settling and growing there later on – forming metastasis.

This project investigates the application of geometric morphometrics and machine learning to support the diagnosis and treatment planning of SCIII. By leveraging quantitative shape analysis of craniofacial structures, the study aims to identify clinically meaningful subphenotypes and develop predictive models to assist clinical decision-making.

Inteligência Artificial em Saúde em 2026: o que é possível e o que será necessário para lá chegar

Inteligência Artificial em Saúde em 2026: o que é possível e o que será necessário para lá chegar

Os sistemas de saúde estão cada vez mais sob pressão, desde a escassez de profissionais até aos tempos de espera mais longos e ao excesso de carga administrativa. Neste contexto, a Inteligência Artificial surge como uma ferramenta prática para apoiar os profissionais, melhorar os cuidados aos doentes e ajudar os sistemas a gerir a crescente procura. Em 2026, o foco já não é se a IA vai transformar a saúde, mas como poderá fazê-lo à escala.

Healthcare systems are under growing strain, from staff shortages to longer waiting times and administrative overload. In this context, Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a practical tool to support professionals, improve patient care, and help systems manage rising demand. In 2026, the focus is no longer if AI will shape healthcare, but how it can do so at scale.
