The Union Health Ministry has introduced portable AI-powered X-ray devices under a pilot project in Telangana to improve tuberculosis detection. The technology provides instant chest X-ray analysis, helps identify missed TB cases, and enables health workers to monitor treatment progress in remote communities.
In practice, the AI tries to detect whether there is spiking on the tibial tubercles in the knee joint or not. Tibial spiking can be a sign of osteoarthritis.
