AIIMS created a computer-based tool that helps doctors read mammograms.

Mammograms are images used to examine breasts.

The tool is meant to support radiologists during their work.

It may be especially useful in places with few breast-imaging specialists.

AIIMS has transferred the technology to BPL Technologies.

The company and the institute can now work on improving and testing it.

The project was developed by medical and machine-learning researchers.

It could eventually be used in healthcare if further validation supports clinical implementation.
