In a new study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, AI models did a better job of detecting ovarian cancer than human doctors.

The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, tested an AI model’s ability to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions on the ovaries, according to a press release.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

The AI model was trained on more than 17,000 ultrasound images from 3,652 patients across 20 hospitals in eight countries, the release stated.

“High-quality diagnostics can become more accessible, particularly in regions with limited access to experienced examiners,” said a study author. (iStock)

The AI model achieved an accuracy rate of 86% for detecting …
