Recent developments in AI have demonstrated the potential for improving our ability to detect and diagnose cancer earlier. William Hsu will present his experience evaluating AI in multiple cancer screening scenarios including:

  • Assessing the reliability of imaging-based models for estimating an individual’s lung cancer risk.
  • Improving patient adherence to colorectal screening recommendations of high-risk polyps using an in-house developed algorithm.
  • Using a commercial AI algorithm to enable same-day follow-up testing of abnormal breast mammograms.
