Technion-Led Team Secures Grant for AI MRI to Enhance Early Ovarian Cancer Detection
A research team led by the Technion has been awarded a Gray Foundation Team Science grant to develop an AI-powered MRI method aimed at improving early detection of ovarian cancer, particularly in women with BRCA gene mutations. The project, spearheaded by Prof. Moti Freiman, is part of a $35 million funding initiative by the Gray Foundation to advance research in preventing and detecting BRCA-related cancers. The collaboration involves teams from the Technion, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Chicago, focusing on combining advanced MRI imaging, quantitative analysis, and AI tools to create effective screening strategies. The initiative aims to provide better risk assessment tools to avoid unnecessary preventive surgeries, which are currently recommended for women with high genetic risk.
