Breast Cancer Detection with PowerAI Vision

IBM PowerAI Vision is a new generation video/image analysis platform that offers built-in deep learning models that learn to analyze images and video streams for classification and object detection.

We would like to review a test case where PowerAI Vision was able to detect breast cancer from an MRI with high accuracy.
