Effect of artificial intelligence –based computer-aided diagnosis on the screening outcomes of digital mammography: a matched cohort study

ConclusionsAI-CAD increases the specificity for radiologists without decreasing sensitivity as a supportive tool in the single reading of DM for breast cancer screening.Clinical relevance statementThis study shows that AI-CAD could improve the specificity of radiologists ’ DM interpretation in the single reading system without decreasing sensitivity, suggesting that it can benefit patients by reducing false positive and recall rates.Key Points• In this retrospective-matched cohort study (DM without AI-CAD vs DM with AI-CAD), radiologists showed higher specificity and lower AIR when AI-CAD was used to support decision-making in DM screening.• CDR, sensitivity, and PPV for biopsy did not differ with and without AI-CAD support.
