it showed i was in the highest risk of breast cancer. nobody would ask radiologist could you look at this image of healthy woman and say if she is going to get cancer in two or three years, so you re bringing technology to the task that humans can t do. reporter: do we know what the artificial intelligence is seeing? can be many little things in this image, all at the same time that come together to give you that this person s higher risk. they can understand things in a way that is different from what we we as people would glean from looking at the image. reporter: research still early, but if the technology pans out, could save lives leading to quicker treatment for breast cancer. would this replace a human radiologist? i don t see it as replacing the radiologist, just machines and human have very complementary strengths. if you put the two together, hopefully we can do the
my twitter followers what i can expect. very loud noise claustrophobia. now i m nervous. i m going to have an mri scan on my liver. and i have to lay absolutely still? yep, and there s breathing instructions. this magnetic resonance imaging scanner mri scanner is going to be able to see my soft tissue and my fluid in great detail. and it will produce images like this, which will be looked at by a radiologist to try and work out if they can see anything unusual. now, the thing produces really strong magnetic fields, which means nothing metal can come in and that includes you. but this is no ordinary mri scan. instead of being read by a human, my mri is going to be read by an artificial intelligence. this is a computer that will look at the images and read them at least as well as a human radiologist would.

to be read by an artificial intelligence. this is a computer that will look at the images and read them at least as well as a human radiologist would. breathe out and hold your breath. now, this film is not about computers stealing jobs. this is a film about computers filling the gaps in an nhs that is short of money, short of nurses, and short of the highly skilled radiologists who can read and interpret images like these. but that s a really difficult job that takes years of training. i mean, how could you teach a computer to do that? well, here s a classroom full of medical students, and this is a computer. the way you teach each is very different. i mean, how could you teach a computer to do that? well, here s a classroom full of medical students, and this is a computer.
