Women with abnormal mammograms often have to wait for weeks to find out whether they have breast cancer.
Now, researchers at UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley have found a way to help reduce the wait and the worry by using artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly identify those who are most likely to have the disease. Once these patients are triaged, they can go through the diagnostic process immediately — from imaging to evaluation and sometimes even biopsy — in a single day.
