June 25, 2021 — Breast cancer recentlysurpassedlung cancer as the number 1 diagnosed cancer in the U.S., excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer. Additionally, theNational Cancer Instituterecentlypredictedan almost 10,000 excess deaths from breast and colorectal cancers over the next 10 years as a direct result of the pandemic, making it now more important than ever for women to take control over their breast health. Recently,Randy Hicks, M.D., MBA, Co-Owner and CEO ofRegional Medical Imaging(RMI) in Michigan, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss how new technology is helping the fight againstbreast cancer.
TheCOVID-19pandemic brought routine health screenings, such as mammograms, to ascreeching halt, declining up to 92% in some areas last year, according to astudyin theJournal of the American College of Radiology. Now, with Americans getting vaccinated and infection rates decreasing around the country, many women are playing catch-up on these vital health screenings, which leads to another issue — a drastic increase in workload for doctors, who must face a surge of patients who need to be screened.
幸运的是，一种创新的新工具可用来帮助临床医生应对这种突然的需求，同时为他们提供了比以往任何时候都更高的准确性。ProFound AIuses the latest in deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) and is clinicallyprovento help radiologists read mammograms more than 50% faster - and with more accuracy - while also reducing false positives and unnecessary callbacks, which can be stressful for women.
