Detecting Breast Cancer with AI
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way doctors detect and diagnose breast cancer.
How it works
AI systems are trained on thousands of medical images (such as mammograms and X-rays). They learn to identify patterns that might indicate early signs of cancer, sometimes even before they are visible to the human eye.
Benefits
- Higher accuracy in spotting anomalies
- Early detection, which increases survival rates
- Assistance for radiologists, reducing fatigue and error
- Accessibility: AI-powered mobile tools can help extend screening to remote areas
Organizers
Promote the role of women in technology and provide a space for learning, sharing, and empowerment.
