At Orebro University Hospital in Sweden, doctors are using AI for faster and more reliable breast cancer diagnosis for all patients. The hospital employs two AI tools for image-based diagnostics, analyzing cells to determine if they are dividing, a task where AI quickly surpasses human capability. Specialist doctor Rickard Einefors notes that instead of manually counting 500 cells, AI counts 70,000 with similar results.
Oncologist Antonios Valachis adds that AI helps provide additional information in intermediate cases where it is difficult to decide on chemotherapy. Both doctors emphasize that AI is used as a tool to support decisions, not followed blindly, and they see it as just the beginning of AI's impact on healthcare.
