[Hadassah On Call] Paging Doctor A.I.

No, the VECTRA WB360 isn’t from Star Wars or Star Trek.

It’s the most advanced system for digital mole mapping — and Hadassah has it.

This new machine uses 92 cameras and AI to detect early signs of skin cancer and track changes in lesions over time. It’s the only one of its kind in the Middle East, says Dr. Rony Shreberk-Hassidim, senior physician in the Department of Dermatology at the Hadassah Medical Organization.

A vertical proton therapy machine isn’t something you’d see on a sci-fi TV show either.

Unique to Hadassah, it’s designed so patients sit and rotate around the beam. The machine is also smaller than traditional ones, according to Prof. Aron Popovtzer, director of the Sharett Institute of Oncology at the Hadassah Medical Organization, who also discusses using AI to predict patient responses to different cancer treatments.
