The competition is organized by the Radiological Society of North America (RNSA) on the Kaggle platform.

The AI solution developed by Dang can automatically recognize signs of breast cancer from a very small area in a mammogram. This solution can be integrated into computer-aided diagnosis (CADx systems) to improve accuracy in diagnosis and treatment.

The competition drew nearly 1,700 teams from around the world. The eight teams that submitted the highest scoring algorithms receive total prize money of 50,000 USD.
