AI use in breast cancer screening as good as two radiologists, study finds
AI use in breast cancer screening as good as two radiologists, study finds
Preliminary results from major trial show use of technology almost halves human workload
Titlegore. Who are these two radiologists this article is seemingly throwing under the bus?
It’s just the way you do metrics for AI. You assign probabilities to the successful detection for a single doctor based on real world data e.g. one doctor will identify breast cancer correctly 90% of the time. You then assign some probability for when two doctors would consult together and successfully identify the breast cancer e.g. 95%. Then a group of doctors etc. etc.
If your AI is 96% effective then you would say it is better than two doctors.
Yes the title is a little strangely worded but in the context of the above it makes sense.
