iCAD and Google Health Expand Integration of Google’s AI Technology with iCAD’s ProFound Breast Health Suite for 2D Mammography for Use as Independent Reader - Seite 2

In an independent study of six radiologists, Google’s mammography AI system outperformed all of the human readers, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) that was greater than the AUC-ROC for the average radiologist by an absolute margin of 11.5%. Researchers also ran a simulation in which Google’s AI system participated in the double-reading process used in the UK and found the AI system maintained non-inferior performance and reduced the workload of the second reader by 88%.ⁱⁱⁱ

“Technology can and should play a fundamental role in democratizing access to high-quality healthcare. But one company can’t make this a reality alone,” said Greg Corrado, Ph.D., Head of Health AI, Google. “iCAD is a proven leader in the breast cancer domain, and through this collaboration we hope to not only alleviate the increasing burdens on radiologists worldwide, but also reduce disparities in healthcare across the globe.”

“At iCAD, we believe where one lives should not determine whether one lives. As part of our agreement with Google, and to demonstrate our commitment to enhancing patient outcomes worldwide, iCAD will provide a portion of its breast cancer screening for underserved individuals in certain countries at no cost,” added Ms. Brown. “With thousands of installations worldwide, our Breast AI solutions are already the most widely used technologies of their kind. Our solutions level the playing field and provide a more holistic view of each woman’s present and future, optimizing every patient’s opportunity to find cancers earlier and live better lives.”
