Doctors using AI catch breast cancer more often than either does alone — MIT Technology Review
<p><em>A new study shows that artificial intelligence can also handle more than half of scans automatically, dramatically reducing radiologists’ workloads.</em></p>
<p><strong>Radiologists assisted by an AI screen for breast cancer more</strong> successfully than they do when they work alone, according to new research. That same AI also produces more accurate results in the hands of a radiologist than it does when operating solo.</p>
<p>The large-scale study, <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/article/PIIS2589-7500(22)00070-X/fulltext#gr2" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">published this month</a> in The Lancet Digital Health, is the first to directly compare an AI’s performance in breast cancer screening according to whether it’s used alone or to assist a human expert. The hope is that such AI systems could save lives by detecting cancers doctors miss, free up radiologists to see more patients, and ease the burden in places where there is a dire lack of specialists.</p>
