Mammograms, which are key to detecting breast cancer, could be paired with artificial intelligence to predict heart disease risk, too. Researchers have developed an AI model that scans mammograms to quantify bright streaks of calcium buildup, a marker of stiffened breast artery tissues. The severity of these so-called breast arterial calcifications (BAC) can help to predict associated heart disease risk, researchers report in the European Heart Journal. The model “can be run on every single...
