AI better than doctors in detecting breast and ovarian cancers, find studies

Firstpost  

Artificial intelligence has proven to be helpful in identifying more cases of breast and ovarian cancer. Reuters Artificial intelligence has proven to be helpful in detecting breast and ovarian cancer and could even outperform doctors in identifying the deadly disease, Nature Medicine reported citing studies done in Germany and Sweden. According to a study conducted in Germany, AI helped detect more cases of breast cancer compared to when the technology was not used. Radiologists in the AI-supported screening detected breast cancer at a rate of 6.7 per 1,000, which is statistically higher compared to the 5.7 per 1,000 rate in the control group Moreover, a study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet shows that AI models can outperform physicians and radiologists in detecting ovarian cancer in ultrasound images. The study showed that AI technology could enhance the efficiency of the screening process while maintaining accuracy and preventing an increase in false breast cancer detections.
