AI Helps Rapid Breast Cancer Screening in Iran
“Medical pre-diagnosis based on medical images by using artificial intelligence is one of the most important activities of our company,” Reza Zamani, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA on the sidelines of Asr-e Omid event and exhibition in Karaj.
“In this knowledge-based company, we receive medical images from medical centers and analyze and process them by using artificial intelligence and the patient's problems are reported to the doctor in the form of a visual and written report after diagnosis; therefore, the doctor can provide the final report and diagnosis to the patient by using the patient's initial report and images,” he added.
Noting that breast cancer screening on mammography images is one of the first achievements of the company, he said, “Mammography images of women are sent to us online through the mammography machine in the medical centers, and the image report is sent after 10 to 30 seconds to the medical centers.”
“The images are connected to the company's servers by the software developed by the knowledge-based company by using artificial intelligence models and then the result is sent,” Zamani said, adding that the absence of a physical device due to the high costs is one of the strong points of the cloud and online system of the knowledge-based company.
