AI-powered tools in mammography screening deliver groundbreaking improvements in cancer detection, helping radiologists catch more cancers early while reducing unnecessary patient recalls.
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers examined the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on cancer detection and recall rates.
Mammography screening contributes to reducing breast cancer-related mortality. Further, improving the sensitivity and specificity of screening could result in lower interval cancer rates, recall rates, and more effective treatment of breast cancer patients. Screening programs generate considerable volumes of mammograms, which, in most programs, require interpretation by two radiologists.
Additionally, a consensus conference may be required to achieve high specificity and sensitivity. As such, the work of radiologists involves repetitive tasks of interpreting a...
