MIT and ETH Zurich's MIRAI Model Validated on 1.5M Mammograms for Breast Cancer Risk Prediction

A significant milestone has been achieved in breast cancer risk prediction with the validation of the MIRAI model on over 1.5 million mammograms. Developed by an interdisciplinary team from MIT and ETH Zurich, the MIRAI model can assess the 5-year risk of breast cancer. This breakthrough was made possible with support from Wellcome Trust, Community Jameel, and global hospital collaborators. Additionally, a deep learning tool developed at Royal Surrey and University of Surrey has shown the capability to predict future breast cancer risk from current negative screening mammograms. The AI model can also identify different stages of Ductal carcinoma in situ from breast tissue images.
