The added value of an artificial intelligence system in assisting radiologists on indeterminate BI-RADS 0 mammograms

ConclusionThe AI system can effectively assist mid-level radiologists in reducing unnecessary follow-ups of mammographically indeterminate breast lesions and reducing the benign biopsy rate without missing highly malignant tumors.Key Points•The artificial intelligence system could assist mid-level radiologists in effectively reducing unnecessary BI-RADS 0 mammogram recalls and the benign biopsy rate without missing highly malignant tumors.•The artificial intelligence system was capable of detecting low suspicion lesions from heterogeneously and extremely dense breasts that radiologists tended to miss.•The use of an artificial intelligence system may improve the inter-rater reliability and sensitivity, and reduce the reading time of entry-level radiologists in assessing potential lesions in BI-RADS 0 mammograms.
