iCAD updates AI software for detecting breast cancer
Computer-aided detection (CAD) software developer iCAD has launched new features for its ProFound Detection AI software tool designed to help radiologists diagnose cancer on both 2D and 3D mammography.
The latest version of ProFound Detection includes a new configuration option limiting to three the number of lesion marks visible on a workstation view displaying 3D images. This refinement is hoped to ensure that radiologists can interpret the most critical information, the company said.
As a visual aid, iCAD has also introduced color-coded lesion marks and case scores on the ProFound Scorecard. The color-coded system is ...

AI model predicts 5-year breast cancer risk from mammogram data
An AI model developed by Duke University researchers can predict five-year breast cancer risk from mammograms, a study published March 19 in Radiology found.
A team led by Mark Donnelly from the Durham, N.C.-based university found that their deep learning-based algorithm, a simplified offshoot of Mirai, performed well in predicting cancer risk by evaluating breast asymmetry features on mammograms.
“We hope that this [model] will enable some of those personalized screening strategies to reduce the load on patients and radiologists,” Donnelly told AuntMinnie.com.
While attending regular screening mammogram appointment...

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 h...
