Artificial intelligence to improve the precision of mammograms

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, used in combination with the evaluation of expert radiologists, improve the accuracy in detecting cancer using mammograms. This is one of the main conclusions of an international study conducted, among others, by researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the University of Valencia (UV), and which has been published in one of the world’s largest medical journals in the field, the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study is based on the results obtained in the Digital Mammography (DM) DREAM Challenge, an international competition led by IBM where researchers from the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, CSIC-UV) have participated along with scientists from the UPV’s Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM).
