AI mammography hits 88.5% accuracy, cuts false positives by 27%, and improves detection in dense breast tissue, transforming cancer screening. AI Mammography Real Patient Story Where AI Found Breast Cancer Missed by Human Eyes Suppose that you are awaiting the results of a mammogram, and your radiologist calls you with startling news, not because he has found anything, but because he has not, and an artificial intelligence has.

Her physician confirmed that this would have been completely missed without the AI. The story of Hall is growing more and more frequent. The use of artifi...

Experience ETH Zurich’s 2025 stroke breakthrough with magnetic microrobots for targeted clot treatment, safer delivery, and faster recovery. A paradigm shift in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), which is estimated to cause around 87% of all cerebrovascular accidents and is the primary cause of both long-term disability and economic impact, is currently being witnessed in the global healthcare arena through the successful publication of a seminal study by researchers at ETH Zurich outlining a modular, magnetically guided, microrobotic platform, which can substantially resolve the inherent risks of internal bleeding and narrow therapeutic indexes in contemporary treatment procedures. Although the standard of care has historically relied. Targeted Stroke Treatment vs Traditional tPA Therapy The present day paradigm of ischemic stroke treatment is to restore the blood flow into the brain as soon as possible.
