Israeli-led team wins grant to develop AI MRI for early ovarian cancer detection

The funding will support the development of an AI method for analyzing MRI scans to detect ovarian cancer early. The method targets women with BRCA gene mutations, who face a heightened risk for the disease.

The Gray Foundation Team Science program awards grants to collaborative, interdisciplinary teams working on challenging cancer research problems. The Technion project brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, medical imaging, and oncology. The goal is to create a non-invasive screening tool that improves early detection rates.

The grant provides resources for the initial stages of the project, including algorithm development and validation on existing datasets. The team plans to refine the AI model and later test it in clinical settings. If successful, the method could become a standard part of screening for high-risk individuals.
