Improving Access to Breast Care with Mobile Screenings and AI
• 21 minBreast cancer is the most common cancer found in women worldwide, and one of the most effective ways to combat it is early detection through screening. However, this faces several challenges, such as limited access to screening, socio-economic issues and the difficulties in getting conclusive results from some tests. Taking screening closer to the people and employing artificial intelligence in diagnostics are two viable solutions that doctors are using to promote early detection. Today, Siemens Healthineers Head of Marketing Women’s Health Aline Hambüchen talks with Dr. Brian Englander, Chairman of the Pennsylvania Hospital Department of Radiology, Federica Pediconi, professor of radiology at the University of Rome La Sapienza, Marco Caballo, Ph.D., a biomedical engineer and AI researcher at Radboud University Medical Center in Gelderland, NL and Abby Weldon, Senior Director of Women’s Health at Siemens Healthineers.
