Ai-enhances-breast-cancer-detection

2023 20 Sep

A recent study from the Karolinska Institute, published in The Lancet Digital Health, reveals that a single radiologist aided by AI detected more cases of breast cancer in screening mammography compared to the combined efforts of two radiologists. The findings were reported in the ScreenTrustCAD study conducted by the Institute. The team revealed that...Read more
