Individualized breast cancer MRI screening in high-risk women enabled by machine learning
MALBACS is funded by the Vienna Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) to improve early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.
Team: Georg Langs, Maria Bernathova, Lorenz Perschy, Philipp Seeböck, Bianca Burger, Yen Tan, Christian Singer, Thomas Helbich
Project summary:
The project aims at enhancing MRI breast cancer (BC) screening with help of machine learning, to improve improving the outcome for women at high-risk of developing BC. We will develop and validate machine learning techniques for personalized screening, early detection of breast cancer, and a reduction of false positives leading to unnecessary biopsies.
