Mirai shows promise for detecting interval breast cancers
The AI risk prediction model Mirai has shown promise for detecting interval breast cancers from screening mammograms, U.K. researchers have reported.
Sequences included in the study MRI protocol: (a) coronal TIRM (turbo inversion recovery magnitude) sequence, (b) coronal T1-weighted sequence, (c) axial FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) sequence (head only), (d) axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequence (HASTE), (e) axial diffusion-weighted imaging (b-value 900), (f) an axial ADC map, (g) axial T1-Dixon water-only images before contrast agent, and (h) after administration of contrast agent.

Dedicated breast F-18 FDG PET/MRI exam pre- (A, D, G), mid- (B, E, H), and post-NAC (C, F, I) of a 41-year-old patient diagnosed with a triple negative (TN), grade 2, invasive carcinoma. The SUVmax values of the primary tumor were 14.68 pre-NAC, 1.69 mid-NAC, and 1.87 post-NAC, while SER values were 1.19, 0.52, and 0.63, respectively.
