AI reads MRI scans to predict breast cancer type without needle
NCT ID NCT07389200
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will use MRI scans and artificial intelligence to predict the type and aggressiveness of breast cancer without needing a biopsy. Researchers will analyze images from 400 patients to see if computer models can identify HER2 status and other key features. The goal is to make diagnosis faster, less invasive, and more accurate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to determine breast cancer type and severity using MRI, reducing the need for biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study. The machine learning model may not be accurate enough for clinical use, and results may vary across different hospitals.
