- AI System – MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory researchers became first to develop AI system using machine learning to improve early breast cancer detection
- Current Solutions – Early detection can often be cured; however, current mammograms frequently produce false positive results, leading to unnecessary biopsies and surgeries, as roughly 70% of lesions are benign
- AI System Technology – Trained on 600 existing high-risk lesions, system uses machine learning to identify if high-risk lesion found in mammogram will become cancer by using data patterns, covering demographics, family history, past biopsies, and pathology reports
- Next Steps – Continue to improve model and incorporate actual images from mammograms, pathology slides, as well as more extensive patient medical records in future
