Mia AI Outperforms Radiologists in NHS Breast Cancer Trial, Eyes Nationwide Rollout
March 24, 2024
NHS Grampian conducted a successful trial of a new AI technology called Mia for breast cancer screening, developed by Kheiron Medical Technologies.
Mia detected 12% more tumors than the traditional methods used by radiologists.
The AI technology could decrease radiologists' workload by up to 30%.
Patients with small tumors detected by Mia had a 95% survival rate.
There are limitations to the technology, including the need for diverse training data and machine learning restrictions.
Following the trial's success, there are plans for a larger, nationwide NHS trial to evaluate the integration of AI into routine breast screening services.
