Major breast cancer screening AI trial to begin
Nearly 700,000 women are to be recruited to take part in an NHS artificial intelligence (AI) breast cancer screening trial in England.Five different AI platforms will be tested across 30 sites from April to see if the technology can speed up diagnosis as well as free up radiologists.

Inside the NHS plan to revolutionise breast cancer diagnosis with help of AI
The NHS is launching the world's biggest trial of AI to detect breast cancer, screening two-thirds of 700,000 women. Five different types of AI will read about 462,000 mammograms at 30 breast cancer screenings later. The other 238,000 will be read in the usual way by two radiologists.

NHS trial puts AI for breast cancer screening under scrutiny
From April, women invited for a routine breast cancer screening will be invited to take part in the trial at 30 testing sites across the country. The AIs will be tested to see how well they can assist radiologists in interpreting mammograms and identifying changes in breast tissue that could signal cancer.
AI trials to help with early breast cancer detection
AI tools like the ones being tested in the EDITH trial could help facilitate the screening process, allowing the NHS to manage its resources better. With around 2.1 million mammogram screenings carried out annually, AI could significantly reduce the time required for each screening, making the system more efficient.
