Implementing AI in Breast Cancer Screening & Diagnostics

Insights from Science, Industry & Clinic
Start time: 2023-11-22 at 17:30
End time: 2023-11-22 at 20:00
Location: SSE, Room Ragnar, Sveavägen 65
How did St Görans Hospital successfully leverage AI to improve breast cancer diagnostics? What role do industry leaders play in driving this technological innovation? What roads are being explored for extending this AI application to new medical fields? 
 
Join us for an exciting conversation that will tackle these questions and more. Our panel features Karin Dembrower, a breast radiologist at St Görans Hospital and the author of a fascinating article on AI in breast cancer screening in Lancet Digital Health. Alongside her is Stephanie Robertson, a breast pathologist, MD PhD and medical manager at Stratipath and she has been actively involved in implementing Stratipath Breast, the first decision support tool for AI-based prognostic risk profiling of breast cancer, into several health care regions in Sweden.
