Comparable prediction of breast cancer risk from a glimpse or a first impression of a mammogram
Abstract Expert radiologists can discern normal from abnormal mammograms with above-chance accuracy after brief (e.g. 500 ms) exposure. They can even predict cancer risk viewing currently normal images (priors) from women who will later develop cancer. This involves a rapid, global, non-selective pr...
