Hospitals trial intelligent machines to improve cancer detection and results so far are promising.
Unlike humans, AI is tireless. Experts say it could improve detection.The current system in the NHS uses two radiologists to analyse each woman's X-rays. In rare cases where they disagree, a third doctor assesses the images.
The results showed that the AI model was as good as the current double-reading system of two doctors.Compared to one radiologist, there was a reduction of 1.2% in false positives, when a mammogram is incorrectly diagnosed as abnormal.Dominic King from Google Health said:"Our team is really proud of these research findings, which suggest that we are on our way to developing a tool that can help clinicians spot breast cancer with greater accuracy.
Reading X-rays is vital but time-consuming work, and there is an estimated shortage of more than 1,000 radiologists across the UK.No. It took humans to design and train the artificial intelligence model.Even when it is, at least one radiologist would remain in charge of diagnosis. Women aged between 50 and 70 are invited for NHS breast screening every three years - those who are older can ask to be screened.
