From Sussex Labs to Saving Lives: The Life-Changing Journey of TexRAD

A University of Sussex innovation is transforming cancer detection and treatment worldwide. TexRAD, born from collaboration between BSMS and Engineering, uses texture analysis on CT, MRI and X-ray scans to reveal patterns invisible to the human eye. Now adopted in 60+ medical centres across the globe, TexRAD helps clinicians detect cancer earlier, predict treatment response, and reduce the need for invasive tests. Beyond oncology, the technology is branching into kidney stone analysis, lung disease, neurological conditions, and even dementia research, showing how Sussex innovation is driving health impact far beyond the lab.
