Artificial intelligence can allegedly detect more breast cancers than doctors with years of training and experience, according to a new study.
- The study also deemed that AI appears to be safe to use in breast cancer detection and could potentially cut doctors’ mammogram reading workload almost in half.
The researchers looked at scans from more than 80,000 women in Sweden who underwent a mammogram between April 2021 and July 2022. Half of the women were assigned to a group in which AI read the mammogram before it was analyzed by a radiologist, the other just used radiologists without AI. The group whose scans were assisted by AI found 20% more cancers than the group without AI assistance.
However, this doesn’t mean hospitals will let a computer determine whether a patient has cancer any time soon.The new research is thought to be the first randomized control trial to compare AI-assisted breast cancer detection with detection done by well-trained humans alone.
