Galen Breast
Benefits
The AI technology uses an algorithm to analyse images of breast tissue extracts, helping pathologists detect cancer more quickly. Its high accuracy rate could reduce the need for patients to repeat the biopsy process and free up more time for consultants. It helps prioritise cases, reduce delays in diagnosis, and can order extra tests when needed.
