Medical AI tool uncovers breast cancer signs in 11 women that doctors overlooked
In a groundbreaking advancement for cancer detection, a medical AI tool named Mia has emerged as a potential game-changer in the fight against breast cancer. Developed by the British firm Kheiron Medical Technologies, Mia showcased its prowess during a mass trial conducted within the UK's National Health Service (NHS). Covering 10,889 patients, the trial, implemented by NHS Grampian in Scotland, harnessed the power of Microsoft's Azure cloud network for data analysis.
The efficacy of Mia became evident as it uncovered signs of breast cancer that had eluded human doctors, bringing to light 11 cases that had previously gone unnoticed. These cases included tumors too minuscule for even highly-trained radiologists to detect. Among those whose lives were potentially saved by Mia was Barbara, a resident of Aberdeen, Scotland, whose testimonial underscored the profound impact of the AI tool in catching her cancer at an early stage.
