Second Reader

Last year, after a test on more than 275,000 breast cancer cases, Kheiron reported that its A.I. software matched the performance of human radiologists when acting as the second reader of mammography scans.

Yet Pierce Coughter, the second reader, spotted potential.

With anyone else’s diaries, casting a second reader might create an effect like encountering a split personality.

Now, digital files of written testimony for standing committees are made available through the General Assembly website only once the bill has been passed in the committee and has moved on to the chamber floor for the second time - called “second reader.”

Some files are given to a second reader within the subcommittee, for a second set of ratings.
