Bringing Deep Learning to Digital Mammography
More Accurate
Early studies of Alixir's breast cancer screening system have shown a sensitivity of over 95% and a specificity of 93% on a well-established segmented test set for digital mammography.
Faster
Alixir's technology can interpret and report on an entire mammography study in a mere 1.4 seconds, expediting necessary callbacks and saving lives.
Cost Effective
Alixir can augment or replace a human read, making the screening process more accurate and more cost effective than ever before.
