AI trial in Aberdeen improves breast cancer detection for doctors.

A trial at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary is testing whether AI can assist radiologists in reviewing mammograms for breast cancer screenings. The AI model Mia, developed by Kheiron Medical Technologies, helped spot early-stage breast cancer for a participant in the trial. The technology is being trialled as an additional check at the end of mammogram scan reviews, with radiologists viewing and checking differences identified by the AI. The potential for AI to speed up the process of drug and disease discovery means many scientists and doctors see it as a powerful tool to work with, rather than replace, practitioners.
