00:00Artificial intelligence can detect breast cancer in mammograms as effectively as experienced radiologists, according to a new study.
00:07The new technology could reportedly cut radiologists' workload by almost half, freeing them for more advanced diagnostic work.
00:14The research published in the journal The Lancet Oncology suggested AI-supported screening detected 20% more cancers compared with
00:22the routine double reading of mammograms by two breast radiologists.
00:26The study reviewed 80,000 women during a long-term trial in Sweden.
00:31The Hill notes that breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S., accounting for about
00:3630% of all new cancer cases in women each year.
00:40According to The Washington Post, it may be a while before mammograms will be read by a machine,
00:45as the authors and other experts have warned that AI models need to be trained and tested before they can
00:50be developed in health care settings.
