23、ding to scientists. The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UKs Medical Research Council, said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were
24、published in the Journal of Radiology. According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But
25、doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment. The software was given scans of 256 patients hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when pat
26、ients would die. The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%. The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing
27、 whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment. Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, This exciting use
28、of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.（1）What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take
