breast cancer. she was in disbelief. >> there's just no way i'm too young. this can't be possible. i didn't know where to go. i didn't know who to talk to. >> after noticing the lump, she couldn't get an appointment with her doctor, so she tried eve wellness, an ultrasound imaging center in san francisco. that's using fda approved artificial intelligence and within what period of time were you in the clinic? 12 hours. within 12 hours, she got screened. eight days later, she had her diagnosis. >> i was was overwhelmed. >> breast cancer will impact about 1 in 8 women in the united states. uh- 1 in 4. if you have a family history. >> eve wellness co-founder brendan foley says his clinic uses what's called an automated breast ultrasound machine. it's one of only three in san francisco that scans several images on each side of the breast. you can see we're taking a square image. >> this is a reproducible image. we're taken with the ge bus. and

with that the scan will go across the breast. >> the ai scan uses a software that compares the images taken against roughly 200 million other breast scans. i tried it myself. >> okay, i just want to verify that kiersten taylor, the clinical imaging specialist, performed a risk assessment. this will assess your risk of breast cancer in your lifetime. we're going to be doing a total of six images. >> the screening began lying down. >> it's going to be adding quite a bit of gel just on this first one here. >> the scan costs about $350, takes about 20 minutes, with results back in 48 hours. >> typically speaking, cancers do appear white on mammograms, so in all of these white areas, it's going to be a lot more difficult to identify if there's a cancer. we capture images right up in that armpit area. >> the clinic's physician says the ai software hasn't misdiagnosed any breast cancer since using it three years ago.

the typical breast screening age is 40. some women prefer ultrasound screening because it's free of radiation, and there's no age restrictions or doctor referral needed, and for others, it may be more effective than traditional mammograms. a study by the national cancer institute found mammography is more likely to miss cancer among women with dense breast tissue. >> we've actually looked at this very carefully, and this has been going on for a long time. so if you have dense breast tissue, it it does you it's hard to get sound waves or x rays through the tissue. >> doctor laura esserman is a surgeon and breast cancer oncologist at ucsf, where she is the director of the breast cancer center. she says ultrasound ads typically have high false positive rates, adding other options for women with dense breast tissue, especially if you're a mutation carrier. our contrast based exams like iv contrast mammography or an mri, because that allows you to look at how well vascularized what the blood

flow is to a tumor and those that's a much more sensitive exam. esserman leads the wisdom study that compares annual mammograms versus personalized approaches to breast screening. that's based on individual risk. >> the rates of breast cancer have been increasing, in the united states as well. >> a recent study published in the journal of the american medical association found rates of early onset breast cancer has increased by nearly 4% among u.s. women from 2016 through 2019. and while women over 50 are at higher risk, this study found a rising trend of breast cancer among women under 40. >> again, in young women, it isn't as common, but it's still common enough that you have to be aware and you can't have your head in the sand and think, oh, i'm not at risk. i'm a young woman and i don't have family history. >> look at patients like williams, know family history and diagnosed in her 30s. coming

here expedited my entire experience. >> it wound up to be like a very rare, very aggressive cancer. if i waited months for appointments in the hospital systems, it could have been even worse. >> after six months of chemo, we're happy to report she's now cancer free. as mentioned, that screening costs $350 and you can learn more at wellness.com. all right. how's it looking out there, francis? >> it's looking wet on the roads, especially in san jose with a live shot of 101. there's 8-80 right across your screen, so we're going to see some light to moderate rain falling over the next few hours, with the chance of even some thunder and hail. i'll let you know how much rain you can expect and when

a's host the nationals. hey he's got a foul ball. really happy lawrence butler hit a homer earlier in the game and in the 10th delivers the first game winning hit of his career as the a's walk off two one winners in ten second round of the masters. windy tough day at augusta national. tiger woods taking cover. the stanford man made history chip in birdie on six. he's been fantastic from around the green. the first two days made the cut a record breaking 24th consecutive time at augusta. a three way tie atop the leaderboard. the 2022 masters champ scottie scheffler, from the fairway on ten. that would lead to birdie. he's at six under. max homa. number four lee long birdie putt. homa played with woods and outplayed him in the group. he's at six under par. and then there's clovis native bryson dechambeau. actually moved a sign himself that was in his way on number 13. that led to a birdie. he's at six under par as well. not pictured. cal's collin morikawa tied for fifth, just three strokes off the pace. that is

your look at sports. have a great saturday. send it back to you. >> thanks chris. while the giants will escape all this rain today as they play on the road in tampa bay, and for us here at home, frances is tracking the timing on when we can catch a break. >> yeah, we are looking for breaks, but the main band of rain is moving through the bay area right now. you can see here with live doppler seven, some light rain falling in the north bay. santa rosa already has 4/10 of an inch and also some heavier rain, the orange and yellow falling there towards the south bay and in the east bay, where the precip rate right now in this area is about 0.17in per hour. here's a live shot of the golden gate bridge. so you see, roads are slick this morning. san francisco already about a quarter of an inch right now, and the temperature in san francisco is a chilly 48 degrees. in oakland, it's 49, hayward 51, san jose 53. san mateo 48, and half moon bay,

even cooler at 46 degrees across the san mateo bridge. we've seen some trouble earlier across the san mateo bridge for drivers right now, the roads still slick there. santa rosa is also 48 cooler and petaluma at 45 napa 48 some low 50s in fairfield and concord and livermore at 48 degrees. and this time we're checking out the south bay while we show you the headlines for the weather. today, we can expect wet, windy conditions with a chance of thunderstorms. even some possible small hail as the thunderstorms pass through tomorrow, we'll see lingering, spotty, isolated showers moving through, and you may get some breaks tomorrow throughout the day. but don't be surprised when you get a sudden shower moving through your area. and then next week, temperatures will be warming up, especially for inland communities. we're talking temperatures in the 80s, so very different. it's going to feel like winter this weekend and more spring like and

actually even warmer middle of next week. so the futurecast animation shows this main band of rain. so you see the yellows there. that's a heavier rain. 7:00 this morning in this north to south axis moving through the bay area. the pink and white is snow falling in some of our highest elevations. by lunchtime time we'll get a little bit of a break here right around the bay. and then some of the heavier rain is moving east towards sacramento. and then you notice this evening we'll still get those wraparound showers. so you'll still need an umbrella handy. and it's going to feel cool. so grab a jacket. the showers continue through tomorrow afternoon and even into the evening. even though most of tomorrow will be dry. you just don't want to get caught off guard. so rainfall estimates range anywhere from half an inch to an inch for most areas near three quarters of an inch in san francisco and richmond, over an inch in some of the north bay locations, and closer to half an inch in hayward and fremont. and

today's temperatures will also be very cool. we could even get a little bit of snow in some of our highest peaks, maybe 1 to 2in. the winds will pick up this afternoon and will remain breezy throughout the evening, so temperatures will be generally in the 50s, with the exception of san jose at 60 degrees. but definitely we are much cooler than average. the cool temperatures stick around through tomorrow with those showers and then notice we get sunshine. warmth builds up wednesday and thursday, some 80s in our inland areas and around the bay in the mid 70s. stay with us. we'll have mo
