AI Could Identify Serious Health Conditions During Cancer Screenings

AI could identify serious health conditions during cancer screenings

Artificial intelligence (AI) can detect early indicators of heart disease during routine breast cancer screenings, researchers have revealed.

AI Enables Early Prediction of Serious Heart Disease Using Mammogram Data

A groundbreaking study published in the European Heart Journal reveals an innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) that could revolutionize cardiovascular disease detection, particularly in women. By leveraging routine mammography screenings, typically conducted to detect breast cancer, researchers have developed an AI-based system capable of quantifying breast arterial calcifications — a critical marker of cardiovascular risk. Thi…

Mammograms Reviewed with AI Could Help Detect Heart Disease in Women

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze X-ray mammogram scans from standard breast screening could be used as a method to assess whether women are at risk for heart disease as well as cancer. As reported in the European Heart Journal, the researchers used AI to measure the amount of calcium in breast arteries seen on the X-rays. They showed that using AI to analyze a women’s mammogram screen for breast arterial calcium could be used to cal…
