Google explores AI use in breast cancer screening

flags scans for immediate review by a radiologist if they show a higher likelihood of breast cancer, Google Health said in a blog post on Thursday. If a radiologist determines that further imaging is required, the woman will have the option to undergo this imaging on the same day. This study will evaluate whether this prioritisation could reduce the amount of time that women spend waiting for a diagnostic assessment.

SAN FRANCISCO: Google's health division is collaborating with Northwestern Medicine in the US on a new clinical research study to explore whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) models can help reduce the time to breast cancer diagnosis, narrowing the assessment gap and improving the patient experience. Women who choose to take part in the study may have their mammograms reviewed by an investigational AI model that
