Use of AI combined with MRI promotes early detection of breast cancer
New research shows that an AI-based method for selecting women for additional screening with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can significantly improve the detection of breast cancer missed by traditional mammography. The randomized clinical trial ScreenTrustMRI, led by Fredrik Strand at OnkPat, demonstrates how innovative AI technology could potentially revolutionize current breast cancer screening practices. The study is published in Nature Medicine.
