With over 40,000,000 mammograms run annually in the US, there are psychological consequences of breast cancer imaging that are well documented among patients such as stress and anxiety from largely false positive or indeterminant readings by radiologists.
This UCF MammoChat platform is one of the first projects that engages patients to donate their breast cancer imaging in an effort to reduce the psychological consequences of breast cancer imaging using social networks and artificial intelligence.
This repository will be supported and maintained by the University of Central Florida College of Medicine (UCF COM) Clinical and Aerospace Research team. These clinical research coordinators will operate the repository, including administering patients, imaging sites and transfers through an administrative panel.
