A U.K. woman is thanking artificial intelligence for saving her life.
Sheila Tooth of Littlehampton, West Sussex, had her breast cancer successfully detected by AI after routine testing came back «normal,» according to a report by SWNS.
Tooth, 68, was told she was clear of breast cancer after her last mammogram was reviewed by two radiologists.
BREAST CANCER VACCINE UPDATE FROM CLEVELAND CLINIC: ‘A NEW ERA’
Her mammogram was then analyzed by an AI system, Mammography Intelligent Assessment, as part of a system being tested by University Hospitals Sussex.
The technology picked up cancer cells in Tooth’s screening that were undetectable by the human eye, according to SWNS.
Tooth had been previously diagnosed with non-invasive early breast cancer 15 years ago, so she reported feeling «very frightened» about being diagnosed again.
«But I knew that whatever they could see on my scan must have been incredibly small if it wasn’t picked up the first time,» she told SWNS.

The anxiety-reducing drug, Clonazepam, has been recalled after a potentially «life-threatening» label mix-up, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.
According to a release from the federal agency, Endo Inc. announced a voluntary recall of 16 lots of Clonazepam Orally Disintegrating Tablets.
The pharmaceutical company said the immediate recall came after it was discovered that 16 lots of the anxiety drug were mislabeled with the incorrect strength and National Drug Code (NDC) on them. The company said the labeling error was made by a third-party packager.
As a result, children and adults prescribed Clonazepam could face «life-threatening» side effects, the FDA warned.

The mislabeling of the drug could result in «significant sedation, confusion, dizziness, diminished reflexes, ataxia, and hypotonia,» the FDA said.
«There is reasonable probability for significant, possibly life-threatening, resp..

A slower walking pace could be a sign of cognitive decline or dementia, a new study suggests.
Researchers assessed more than 16,800 healthy people over the age of 65 in the U.S. and Australia during a seven-year period (2010 to 2017), according to the published study in JAMA Network Open.
The investigators measured participants' walking speed and performed cognitive tests every two years.

Those who demonstrated a decrease in walking speed by at least 2 inches per second a year — along with slower cognitive ability — had a higher risk of dementia, as compared to individuals considered to be «non-decliners, cognitive-only decliners or gait-only decliners,» according to the report.
«The combination of declining memory and slowing gait seems to be a stronger indicator of future dementia risk than decline in one of those things alone,» Dr. Taya A. Collyer, PhD, who led the study out of Monash University ..
