AI in healthcare.

So this popped up in my news feed earlier.

NHS AI test spots tiny cancers missed by doctors

An AI tool called Mia found missed breast cancer symptoms in the scans of 11 women during an NHS test.

I must say damn impressive, and the accuracy of it is astounding.

Looking at the picture at the top with the 2 circular marks however, can anyone see what its picked up on?! Because to my untrained eye I cant see anything that doesnt look like another part of the image in some way.

If it was me.. I'd rather have the AI results now and a doctors when available.

This, it would be good if it could be blindly split and recorded some way to ensure the doctors dont fall back on complacency that the AI will do the work for them.

So you go for a scan.

AI checks it.

If it finds something, immediately sent to the front of the queue for doctor A review without information on what it has found, if the doctor signs it off as clean, it then sends it to doctor B to look at the bit the AI picked up.

If nothing is found, then the scans get placed into the queue for manual review regardless.

Heh!

So I have meant to get a mole checked on my leg recently as its started itching. Funny enough ive been referred to a clinic where it will be examined by AI under heavy magnification.

Will be interesting.
