The main breast cancer screening AI test starts

Nearly 700,000 women will be recruited to participate in the British NHS artificial intelligence (AI) breast cancer screening test.

From April, five different AI platforms will be performed at 30 sites to see if the technology can speed up the diagnosis and release the radiologist.

This will be launched later when the government promotes the evidence that the government has called for helping them to shape its national cancer plan.

AI has been tested in NHS in various ways, including helping to provide cancer treatment, management waiting list, and checking cancer scan. However, this is the biggest test covering breast cancer.

Women who have been scheduled to be screened will be invited to participate in early testing of 11 million pounds of pounds of pounds of pounds of pounds of pounds of pounds using Health Information Technology (Edith) test.

Screening between people between 50 and 53, and then meet 71 years of age every three years.

When dating, X -rays called breast X -ray photos are considered to find cancers that are too small but cannot be seen or felt.

At present, two radiologists are required to check each screening image to ensure accuracy.

However, artificial intelligence hopes that the trial artificial intelligence can enable a specialist to complete this process, thereby releasing radiologists to view more patients and reduce the waiting list.

Under the screening plan, more than 2 million breast X -ray photos are performed each year, so it may have a significant impact on the work capacity of radiologists.

Professor Lucy Chapel, a scientific consultant of the Ministry of Health and Social Nursing, said that the research may lead to a “important step.”

Health Minister Wes Streeting said this should be just the beginning of a wider improvement of cancer care.

He said that “emergency action”, given that the survival of cancer here lags behind other countries, he promises to release a special national cancer plan to “release the potential of Britain as a world leader who saves the life of this deadly disease.”

As part of it, the government has initiated an appeal to seek evidence and urge patients, employees and experts to Change the NHS website.

However, Dr. Katharine Hallday, the president of the Royal Institute of Radiology, said that although AI has “huge potential”, NHS is still 30 % shorter than the required radiologists.

She added: “This study will take time to generate results. The demand for establishing radiological capabilities is still urgent.”
