RadNet, which runs nearly 400 radiology imaging centers in the United States, wants to put artificial intelligence into breast imaging.
Over the last five years, the company has moved aggressively to expand its AI capabilities, deploying the technology for breast cancer screenings at its radiology practices. There, patients can pay $40 out-of-pocket for an algorithm to screen their mammogram, with a double-check if the AI says something different than the human radiologist reading the same scan. RadNet says about 40% of its patients opt in, running about 600,000 mammograms through the company’s AI every year.
