General Article - https://www.ft.com/content/d3b462a3-8085-43d7-9e37-a78564907d2c https://www.ft.com/content/d3b462a3-8085-43d7-9e37-a78564907... Context: - Europe has a double reader standard (2 human radiologists read every screening case) - AI (Mia) was used only after both human readers had submitted their opinion (AI was after standard of care) Headline metrics: - Mia increased cancer detection rate by 13% (20% of missed cancers overall) - 83% of cancers were invasive (can spread through body) - 47.0% were <10mm (generally harder to detect and earlier in development) Disclosure: I'm an early employee of Kheiron Medical (pretty proud, happy, and excited)
