Researchers from Houston Methodist have developed artificial intelligence software capable of interpreting mammograms, potentially saving doctors’ time and improving the accuracy of their readings. Capable of analysing millions of records in a short period of time, it is hoped that this software will significantly reduce the number of unnecessary breast biopsies performed in the M.D., currently standing at 20% of 1.6 million procedures per year.
