Eskenazi Health's Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) Tool could help reduce the misdiagnosis of breast cancer.

The American Cancer Society estimates 268,000 women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis this year. And 40 percent of them have dense breast tissue that can make diagnoses more challenging. WFYI’s Terri Dee spoke with Dr. Lauren Harry, a breast radiologist at Eskenazi Health, about a new tool that aims to change that.

Terri Dee was the local newscaster for All Things Considered and reports on arts and culture, diversity, equity, inclusion and association, health, and business. She co-hosted WFYI’s award-winning television series, “Where Do We Go From Here?” exploring social, economic, housing, and education inequities experienced by people of color.
