L&T Technology Services just partnered with Nvidia to build something wild – 3D digital twins for lung cancer detection. Yeah, you read that right. They're using AI to create virtual replicas of lungs to spot cancer earlier.

Nvidia's been everywhere lately. From powering mining rigs back in the day to now becoming the backbone of AI infrastructure. This medical imaging move shows how their GPU tech keeps finding new applications beyond crypto and gaming.

Digital twins aren't new in manufacturing, but applying them to oncology diagnostics? That's a different beast. The idea is using AI models to simulate lung structures in 3D, potentially catching abnormalities doctors might miss on traditional scans.

What's interesting here is the compute power required. Same chips that once validated blockchain transactions are now processing medical imagery. The hardware overlaps, even if the use cases couldn't be more different.

Still early days to see if this actually improves diagnosis rates, but the tech convergence is fascinating to watch unfold.
