Posted by Lewisville Flower Mound Oncology Group on August 28th, 2019

Advances in the medical field are increasing very fast, with more diseases than ever becoming manageable due to effective treatment. To ensure patients benefit from prescribed medicines, physicians must consider the new approaches to medication. According to research, it is possible for medical machines to receive and interpret images using synthetic data, thus streamlining steps of diagnosis.

How to use AI to quickly and accurately diagnose breast cancer patients:

• Breast ultrasound elastography – This is new imaging technology which gives information about potential breast lesion. AI is useful in making this technique more accurate and efficient. Artificial intelligence has demonstrated improved accuracy by differentiating cancerous and non-cancerous characteristics in the breasts. Images of the affected areas are taken, and AI is used to determine tissue displacements, thus enabling quick and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer. The technology skips various steps in diagnosis, thus reducing work for physicians while ensuring patients receive timely treatment.
  

• Machine learning algorithm –This involves feeding synthetic images to a machine. The machine learns through repeated input, which recognizes particular elements in an image just like how the human brain works. The device can differentiate features inherent to benign tumor against the malignant tumor, thus making correct predictions. The machine was tested after training, and it achieved 100 percent accuracy in providing diagnosis. It was able to measure results and confirm diagnosis of breast cancer.

AI has overcome the need for pre-engineered feeding of raw data into structured datasets and ensured easy access to patients past medical records for easy diagnosis and treatment. Al has also helped in clinical photography, radiographic imaging and digital pathology.

Getting the right diagnosis is difficult; sometimes, you will go to different hospitals and get different results. The emergence of AI has solved this problem since you will receive the right diagnosis quickly and accurately, which ensures correct treatment.
