The study, conducted by researchers from Norway and the U.S., examined 116,495 women aged 50 to 69 who underwent at least three consecutive rounds of biennial mammography screening.
The study evaluated Lunit’s AI algorithm INSIGHT MMG (version 1.1.7.2) for its ability to estimate future cancer risk based on mammograms. Results indicated that women who later developed breast cancer had consistently higher AI scores in the affected breast up to six years before diagnosis.
The mean AI score difference between breasts for women who developed screening-detected cancer...
