Mammograms with and without cancer

Caption

On average, radiologists find one case of cancer (bottom images) in every 200 mammograms they evaluate. The top images show no cancer. In a recent study, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Whiterabbit.ai showed that AI assistance potentially could improve breast-cancer screening by reducing the number of false positives without missing true positives.
