In the U.S., 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and it is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. But traditional breast cancer risk assessment tools demonstrate poor or biased performance that is unequal across different populations.
MIRAI is an open source, state-of-the-art deep learning model that can provide a personalized risk score up to 5 years in advance just by analyzing a patient’s mammogram, maintaining high accuracy across diverse populations.
MIRAI has been validated on over 1.9 million mammograms from patients all over the world. This validation process is key to ensuring that MIRAI maintains high performance across an array of local populations and that it can be safely used on real patients.
Collaborate With UsMIRAI is a deep learning model that can analyze a patient’s mammogram to accurately predict the patient’s risk of developing breast cancer in the next 5 years.
MIRAI assigns a personalized risk score to the mammogram, helping clinicians determine when a patient should return for their next screening.
Breast cancer is the #1 most common cancer in women worldwide, causing 670,000 deaths in 2022. Half of breast cancers develop in women who have no identifiable breast cancer risk factors other than gender and age.
Moreover, survival is widely inequitable — nearly 80% of deaths from breast cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries.
Jameel Clinic AI faculty lead Regina Barzilay was inspired to build MIRAI after her own breast cancer diagnosis when she learned there were no clinically-available AI models that assess breast cancer risk. Joined by then-student Adam Yala and Mass General Brigham radiologists, Barzilay led the team to develop the pioneering technology behind MIRAI, which is widely considered state-of-the-art.
47 hospitals around the world have installed MIRAI for the purposes of screening and risk assessment.
Thanks to the support of Wellcome Trust, we have been able to expand the deployment of MIRAI to include hospitals serving under-resourced regions.
The scale and computational power needed for bold ideas to work is not possible without the support of grants, foundations, and donors. Your support would enable MIT Jameel Clinic to make a better, healthier future for all.
