Women’s imaging encompasses many radiology procedures related to women and the diseases that are most prevalent to women such as breast cancer or gynecological issues. Mammogram, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and breast biopsy are the most commonly used procedures.
“Analyzing the AI scores of screened individuals over time could provide insight into how early detectable changes arise, potentially allowing for earlier intervention," researchers write in Radiology.
AI shines as a first reader for ruling out suspicious findings in breast cancer screening exams, a new analysis in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence reveals.
Variable technologist training and skill levels, inconsistent onboarding and training, “constant” turnover, and a high number of unfilled positions all have contributed.
Rather than test artificial intelligence's ability to detect malignant lesions on imaging, researchers instead recently explored how it impacts radiologists' interpretation processes.
The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.
