Artificial intelligence successfully detected breast cancer missed by human radiologists during a routine mammogram, enabling early treatment for 68-year-old Sheila Tooth. The AI system, tested at University Hospitals Sussex, identified cancerous cells undetectable by human eyes, allowing Sheila to receive minimal treatment without further interventions.
The project reviewed over 12,000 “normal” mammograms, and AI flagged 11 cases for re-evaluation, uncovering cancer in 5 women. Experts praise AI’s potential to enhance early cancer detection and improve outcomes.
