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.
The platform was designed to enhance the early detection of health conditions known to affect women in their 40s and older, including breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University are commissioning a study to determine if a novel MRI technique can predict the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating breast cancer.
This approach can be replicated by radiologist-led teams elsewhere, providing a "high-value, scalable opportunity" to reduce cancer screening disparities.
Automatically scheduling patients for breast imaging also created a heavier administrative burden, researchers detailed Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
“It’s vital that imaging centers have a process in place to provide ongoing monitoring of AI once it becomes part of clinical practice,” one expert noted.
