Exploring the use of artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis when applied to mammograms.
What's the study about?
There is a shortage of radiologists to read breast screening images (mammograms). In experimental testing, artificial intelligent (AI) systems showed considerable promise for improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosis when applied to mammograms. One such a system is currently developed by the Industrial Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research in Digital Diagnostics (iCAIRD). For this system to be deployed to aid the early detection of breast cancer in Scotland, it needs to be evaluated in medical practice. To determine how to best evaluate it, the researchers propose to explore the ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ of stakeholders, for example, women of breast cancer screening age.
Who's organising it?
Rumana Newlands and Hanne Bruhn, University of Aberdeen
What are the criteria for taking part?
You can take part if you are living in Scotland and are willing to share your views on using AI in breast screening.
What do I need to do?
Taking part involves a research interview where you will be asked questions about your knowledge of and views on Artificial Intelligence's possible use in breast screening in Scotland. The interview will take between 1 and 1.5 hours. Contact Rumana at r.newlands@abdn.ac.uk or Hanne at hanne.bruhn@abdn.ac.uk to take part in an interview. A £15 e-voucher is offered to reimburse you for your time.
