AIIMS Transfers AI Mammography Technology to BPL Technologies
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.
AIIMS-Delhi transferred an artificial intelligence-based mammography interpretation technology to BPL Technologies Ltd.
The technology is designed to support radiologists, especially where specialised breast-imaging experts are limited.
The transfer took place on September 16 in the presence of AIIMS Director Dr Nikhil Tandon and BPL Technologies CFO Ajay Jindal.
The project was developed by AIIMS radiology and machine-learning engineering teams with Ministry of Education funding.
The collaboration will support further development, validation and potential clinical implementation of the technology.
