AI can streamline breast MRI by recommending which patients need fewer imaging sequences mid-exam.
Key Details
- 1AI models can evaluate breast MRI images in real time to determine whether additional imaging sequences are needed.
- 2Standard breast MRI protocols are often lengthy, with sequences that may not be necessary for all patients.
- 3The research, published in Radiology, found AI triage could personalize scan protocols to each patient, reducing imaging time and costs.
- 4Study was conducted by researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Why It Matters
Streamlining MRI protocols with AI can improve clinical efficiency, reduce scan times for patients, and optimize use of imaging resources. This approach could lower costs and expand access while maintaining diagnostic quality.
