What is the title of the project?
People’s views on using artificial intelligence systems for breast cancer screening
What is the project about?
There is a shortage of radiologists to read breast screening images (mammograms). In experimental testing, artificial intelligent (AI) systems showed considerable promise for improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosis when applied to mammograms. One such a system is currently developed by the Industrial Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research in Digital Diagnostics (iCAIRD). For this system to be deployed to aid the early detection of breast cancer in Scotland, it needs to be evaluated in medical practice. To determine how to best evaluate it, we propose to explore the ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ of stakeholders, for example, women of breast cancer screening age.
Who is organising it?

What are the criteria for taking part?
You can take part if you are living in Scotland and are willing to share your views on using AI in breast screening.
What do I need to do?
Taking part involves a research interview where you will be asked questions about your knowledge of and views on Artificial Intelligence’s possible use in breast screening in Scotland. The interview will take between 1 and 1.5 hours. Contact Rumana or Hanne to take part in an interview. We can offer a £15 e-voucher to reimburse you for your time.
