New method can detect early-stage breast cancer in two minutes, study claims
By: University of Waterloo From: medicalxpress.com University of Waterloo researchers are pioneering a method to detect breast cancer in women early enough for them to receive life-saving treatment. The innovative technology aims to be more accurate as well as cheaper to provide than today’s most common diagnostic tools such as X-ray mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Test runs …
Removing Human Error from Breast Cancer Detection
By: Loretta Waldman, for UConn Research From: today.uconn.edu An estimated 37 million mammograms are performed in the United States each year. The rate of abnormalities detected is low – about 2%. Still, the prevalence of false positives is an ongoing challenge for radiologists using current computer aided detection (CAD) technology, an issue that increases the cost of health care and …
How AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection
By: Jayla Whitfield From: governmentciomedia.com Experts say artificial intelligence is a game changer for breast cancer detection and will reduce health care disparities amid federal priorities in cancer care. Approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, a disease that kills more than 40,000 women every year, but artificial intelligence (AI) can save lives …
Validation platform allows local hospitals to determine how well AI systems would detect breast cancer
By: Karolinska Institutet From: medicalxpress.com Researchers at KI, together with other parties, have developed a validation platform for AI algoritms screening for breast cancer. Credit: Claes Lundström While there are currently a dozen approved AI systems for breast cancer screening, it has been difficult to evaluate their clinical performance objectively. Now, however, there is a Swedish validation platform ready to …
New system to detect cancer-related markers on CTCs
Source: Tokyo Medical and Dental University From: news-medical.net Having biopsies taken and endless tests run is nobody’s idea of a good time, even if it’s necessary for monitoring your health.
