Zhikai Yang is a PhD student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Division of Medical Imaging, Sweden. He is currently undertaking research on developing transparent AI for predicting the risk of developing breast cancer using radiological imaging. The main objective of this project is to develop and train transparent deep learning models for analyzing radiological data for diagnostic purposes in breast cancer and to recognize anatomic signs of predisposition for breast cancer. Specifically, he will mainly work with tomosynthesis (3D mammography) and 2D mammography images.
As an exchange student for three months in the AXTI lab, under the guidance of Daan van den Oever, Zhikai's aim is to gain valuable clinical experience and access breast radiological data.
