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.

"This system is bringing with it a greater humanization of AI and therefore a more realistic representation of what we do as radiologists,” one member of the specialty said.
