Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Screening: How the World's First and Only Deep-Learning Solution for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Is Enhancing Patient Care
By Randy D. Hicks, MD, MBA
Although the power of artificial intelligence (AI) has only been harnessed in recent years, it is increasingly being leveraged in healthcare, specifically within the field of radiology. One area within this realm where it is well-positioned to make a significant impact is in breast cancer detection, especially as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), or 3D mammography, continues to grow rapidly in adoption.
