A new study has proven that AI can screen for breast cancer as well — if not better — than a double reading of mammograms by two highly skilled radiologists.
Artificial intelligence continues to demonstrate its impressive abilities, and now it’s outperforming radiologists.
The need for more sophisticated methods of detecting breast cancer is urgent, as screening mammograms currently miss about 20% of breast cancers,American Cancer SocietyAnalyzing mammograms takes time and skill, and AI has the ability to perform as well – if not better – than cancer radiologists.The researchers compared the cancer-detection accuracy of AI with the accuracy of two experienced radiologists when examining mammograms.
While the standard screening process found 203 cases of breast cancer, the AI-assisted group found 244 cases of breast cancer, a 20% increase over the detection rate of the pair of doctors.
