Artificial intelligence effective in breast cancer diagnosis

An artificial intelligence model has been shown to be as effective as human radiologists in spotting breast cancer from x-ray images and also reduced the proportion of screening errors.

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has been shown to be as effective as human radiologists in spotting breast cancer from x-ray images and also reducing the proportion of screening errors where cancer was either incorrectly identified or where it may have been missed. The findings, published in Nature, show the AI was able to correctly identify cancers from the mammography images from almost 29,000 women with a similar degree of accuracy to expert radiologists, and holds the potential to assist clinical staff in practice. Researchers from Google Health, DeepMind, Imperial College London, the NHS and Northwestern University in the US
