Artificial Intelligence in Breast Imaging

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming integrated into many aspects of our day -to -day life, whether its suggestions on movies we should consider, books we may be interested in reading or apparel that may suit our personal taste. In preclinical research, AI provides tools for rapid and robust evaluation of cancer cell and organoid phenotypes or data from small animal imaging. AI is particularly well suited to radiology where it affords opportunities to enhance the speed, accuracy and quality of image interpretation. Rather than eliminating the need for radiologists anytime soon, AI can serve as a valuable adjunct to them allowing resulting in more dependable interpretations of ever more complex technology used in radiology. However, integration of AI to clinical imaging workflows requires careful evaluation of associated ethical, legal, and regulatory challenges.
