AI model predicts 5-year breast cancer risk from mammogram data

AuntMinnie

An AI model developed by Duke University researchers can predict five-year breast cancer risk from mammograms, a study published March 19 in Radiology found. The study compared 210,067 mammograms from 81,824 patients in the EMory BrEast imaging Dataset (EMBED) from 2013 to 2020 using both Mirai and AsymMirai models.
