Women with AI knowledge more willing to be in AI imaging studies

Women with at least some knowledge about AI’s use in breast imaging are more willing to participate in studies using the technology, according to survey results published March 15 in the European Journal of Radiology. Researchers led by Åsne Sørlien Holen from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Oslo found that over three out of five women and over half of women are willing to participate in studies using AI for decision support or triaging, respectively. However, the women also emphasized that they prefer having human readers involved too. “Targeted information and increased public knowledge of AI could help achieve high participation in AI studies and successful implementation of AI in mammography screening,” Holen and co-authors wrote. AI has emerged as an assessment tool in mammography screening for decision support, triaging, and as a standalone reader. Previous studies have shown that AI can accurately detect suspicious findings on mammography and reduce radiologist workload. However, for AI to continue its emergence into the imaging space, large studies with willing participants are needed. Holen and colleagues explored attitudes and perspectives on AI assessment of screening mammograms among women invited to BreastScreen Norway, a program administered by the Cancer Registry of Norway. It includes women ages 50-69 for biennial two-view mammography screening. The study included survey data from 8,355 women and used a 10-point Likert scale for respo...
