Currently, AI plays an increasing role in medicine and public health, especially in radiodiagnosis. AI Mammography helps enhance the efficiency of breast cancer screening from mammography or X-ray images by enabling in-depth analysis clearly and quickly.

AI helps diagnose cancer

Cancer can be caused by many factors, and there is no way to prevent almost all types. Detecting lesions before symptoms appear helps patients enter the treatment process faster, resulting in less painful or complicated treatment and satisfactory outcomes. Artificial Intelligence AI (Artificial intelligence) technology assists in cancer screening, increasing the clarity in identifying small cancers that are difficult to diagnose, enabling detection from the early stages. Additionally, AI is used to assess the risk or chance of cancer, allowing for suitable screening methods and designs to be developed.

How does AI improve the efficiency of breast cancer screening?

AI (Artificial intelligence) aids radiologists in detecting breast cancer from mammography or X-ray images (Mammography). AI processes the in-depth analysis of mammography images, which is challenging for the human eye to analyze. It covers various abnormal or suspicious lesions that might be breast cancer, showing the probability percentage based on detected features such as calcifications, masses, abnormal breast tissue shapes, or enlarged lymph nodes. The results are displayed in varying shades depending on the probability, superimposed on the corresponding X-ray position on the display screen. In the final step, radiologists summarize the results along with the X-ray images and other medical data.

Advantages of using AI for current breast cancer screening

• Increases reliability and confidence in borderline lesions 
• Reduces additional imaging steps as radiologists gain sufficient information for diagnosis
• Ensures data security 
• Improves chances and accuracy in detecting small cancers obscured or overlapped by unique breast structures
• Patients receive timely and accurate services according to medical principles

Future directions of AI and breast cancer

In other countries, studies are developing AI to interpret mammograms comparable to experienced radiologists and starting to use AI to interpret breast ultrasound images for diagnosing breast cancer. This reduces the workload of doctors, giving them more time to focus on patients, enhancing patient care efficiency, and advancing medical and public health on a large scale.
