About this episode

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Wael Hanna, thoracic surgeon and founder of NodeAI, a pioneering startup transforming the evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes through artificial intelligence. Dr. Hanna shares the inspiration behind NodeAI, the clinical problem it aims to solve, and how its cutting-edge platform helps stratify lymph node malignancy risk with speed and precision. We explore the implications of this innovation for lung cancer diagnosis, biopsy decision-making, and patient care — and take a look at what the future holds for AI in thoracic oncology. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or health tech enthusiast, this conversation offers a compelling look at how AI is reshaping diagnostic medicine from the inside out.
