An AI model trained to detect abnormalities on breast MR images accurately depicted tumor locations and outperformed benchmark models when tested in three different groups, according to a study published in Radiology.
“AI-assisted MRI could potentially detect cancers that humans wouldn’t find otherwise,” said the study’s lead investigator, Felipe Oviedo, Ph.D., a senior research analyst at Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab.
Screening mammography is considered the standard of care in breast cancer screening. However, mammography is less effective in patients with dense breasts. Breast density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and can mask a tumor. Physicians may order breast MRI to supplement screening mammography for women who have dense breasts and those at high risk for cancer.
