Using artificial intelligence to detect breast cancer | Local News

Breast cancer is a growing problem in low- and middle-income countries, but screening programs for early detection are rare.

A company in India has developed a cheap, non-invasive test that uses thermal imaging and AI.

Although considered less reliable than mammography, it is hoped that the test could help detect certain cancers early in people who would otherwise not have access to mammography screenings.

The US FDA says mammography is the best way to detect breast cancer.
