Approximately 700,000 women are recruited to participate in the UK NHS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Breast Cancer Screening Exam.
Five different AI platforms are tested on 30 sites in April, confirming that technology can speed up diagnosis, and releases radiologists.
It will come when the government begins calling for evidence to form a national cancer plan, which is scheduled to start later this year.
AI has already been tested in NHS in various ways, such as providing cancer treatment, managing waiting lists, and checking cancer scanning. But this is the biggest test that covers breast cancer.
Women who are already reserved for daily NHS screening will be invited to participate in an early detection of £ 11 million using the information technology (edith) trial.
Screening is available every three years from 50 to 53 years old and 71 years old.
The schedule will be taken to find a mammograph, which is known as a mammography, to find too small cancer to see and feel.
Currently, two radiologists need to check the image of each screening and secure accuracy.
However, when AI is triated, it is expected that one of the specialists can complete the process, and the radiologist will be released, examined for more patients, and reduces waiting lists in order. Masu.
More than 2 million mammographs per year are being carried out under screening programs, which may have a significant impact on radiologists’ workloads.
Professor Lucy Chapel, Chief Science Advisor of the Ministry of Health Social Care Department, said this study could lead to a “big advancement.”
The Health Secretary Wes Street said this should be just the beginning of a widespread improvement of cancer treatment.
He needs an “urgent behavior” considering that “urgent behavior” is delayed in other countries, and “the British can save lives from this fatal illness. He said he promised to publish a dedicated national cancer plan to release sex.
As part of this, the government began calling for evidence and urged patients, staff and experts to provide ideas on the NHS change website.
However, the royal radiologist said that AI has a “immeasurable possibility”, but NHS is still a 30 % shortage of radiologists.
“This study takes time to get results. The need to build radiation capacity remains urgent,” she added.
