澳大利亚的AI工具BRAIx使用乳房影像预测乳腺癌风险, An Australian AI tool, BRAIx, predicts breast cancer risk four years in advance using mammograms, outperforming traditional methods and enabling earlier, personalized screening.

澳大利亚研究人员开发的名为BRAIx的AI工具, 利用近400,000名妇女的乳房X线X光照片数据, 可以预测妇女四年内患乳腺癌的风险, An AI tool called BRAIx, developed by Australian researchers, can predict a woman’s risk of breast cancer within four years using mammogram data from nearly 400,000 women, outperforming traditional risk factors like family history and breast density. 该工具查明了高风险个人——例如顶级2%、尽管进行正常扫描但仍有近10%发癌机率的人——有可能进行个性化筛查,减少对低风险妇女的不必要的检测,以及更早地发现癌症。 The tool identifies high-risk individuals—such as those in the top 2% with nearly a 10% chance of developing cancer despite normal scans—potentially enabling personalized screening, reducing unnecessary tests for low-risk women, and catching cancers earlier. BRAIx根据来自澳大利亚和瑞典的数据进行了验证,检测出人类放射学家看不见的微妙模式,可能有助于针对高危人群进行诸如磁共振分解等额外筛查。 Validated on data from Australia and Sweden, BRAIx detects subtle patterns invisible to human radiologists and may help target additional screenings like MRI for those at highest risk. 研究人员说,它可以改变早期发现和减少乳腺癌死亡率,并可能在五年内推出。 Researchers say it could transform early detection and reduce breast cancer deaths, with potential rollout within five years.
