AI Could Possibly Detected More Cancers Than Radiologists, According To New Study
Artificial intelligence can detect breast cancer in mammograms as effectively as experienced radiologists, according to a new study. The new technology could reportedly cut radiologists’ workload by almost half, freeing them for more advanced diagnostic work.

00:00 Artificial intelligence can detect breast cancer in mammograms as effectively as experienced
00:05 radiologists, according to a new study.
00:07 The new technology could reportedly cut radiologists' workload by almost half, freeing them for
00:12 more advanced diagnostic work.
00:14 The research, published in the journal The Lancet Oncology, suggested AI-supported screening
00:19 detected 20 percent more cancers compared with the routine double-reading of mammograms
00:25 by two breast radiologists.
00:27 The study reviewed 80,000 women during a long-term trial in Sweden.
00:31 The Hill notes that breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S., accounting
00:36 for about 30 percent of all new cancer cases in women each year.
00:40 According to The Washington Post, it may be a while before mammograms will be read by
00:44 a machine, as the authors and other experts have warned that AI models need to be trained
00:49 and tested before they can be developed in health care settings.
