So it seems AI will play a role in medicine moving forward, perhaps sooner rather than later.
Well before ChatGPT reared its head and made AI a household topic around the world, the medical world was already keen on using AI-powered tools. For years, scientists have tested out whether bots could be used to help diagnose diseases in people, especially when it comes to the attention to detail required in assessing medical imagery. The results have been startling— Aon Tuesday found that AI used in breast cancer screenings is remarkably accurate.
Mammography can help in diagnosing breast cancer early when it’s far more treatable—but it’s not perfect. Current estimates suggest that 20 to 30 percent of cancers that should have been spotted in earlier screenings are missed. False positives also occur frequently. Thus, some researchers believe AI could be used to alleviate that strain on resources. The new study is the first randomized trial to test out whether such a tool could help make breast cancer screenings safer and more efficient.
AI-supported screening found one additional case of breast cancer for every 1,000 women screened than did the standard two-radiologist process. It also resulted in more recalls than helped lead to 41 more cancer diagnoses. Both methods resulted in the same 1.5 percent false positive rate.
