Health Canada recently approved ProFound Risk, a new AI tool developed by iCAD, for use in mammograms. The technology aims to assist doctors and healthcare providers in detecting breast cancers more quickly and efficiently. The device provides patients with personalized risk estimations, even if the current mammogram results are clear. In addition to detecting cancer risk, the tool also identifies where the cancer may appear in the body, allowing providers to closely monitor patients and offer guidance on diet and exercise. The ProFound Risk mammogram has a higher accuracy score compared to other risk assessment devices, making it a valuable tool in breast cancer detection. The device is expected to be available to Canadians within the next one to two years. The machine is already cleared for use in the European Union, and is currently being used in the United States for investigational purposes. The device has already proven to be life-changing for healthcare professionals, such as radiologists, who have witnessed its capabilities in action. Dr. Mark Traill, a radiologist at the University of Michigan Health-West’s radiology department, has been using the AI-powered mammogram for five years and has seen significant improvements in cancer detection. The device has helped Traill increase his net performance in finding cancer and has even caught cases that were missed by traditional mammograms. The ProFound Risk mammogram stands out from other risk models as it does not rely on genetic histories for its assessments. This is important as only a small percentage of breast cancers are hereditary. The device also does not require patients to recall family history, as the AI algorithm analyzes the risk directly from the mammogram. AI has been making advancements in breast cancer detection and treatment. Studies have shown that AI tools can reduce the workload for doctors and improve the accuracy of diagnoses. AI can also predict breast cancer more accurately than humans and has the potential to revolutionize breast cancer treatment. While AI can provide valuable information, it is important to remember that it is not meant to replace doctors but rather assist them in providing better treatment for patients.
