AI can be used to'rule-out' breast cancer on mammography
A deep-learning algorithm can rule out the presence of breast cancer on screening mammograms, improving specificity and yielding significant workflow and downstream savings, according to research published April 10 in Radiology.
A team of investigators led by first author Stefano Pedemonte, PhD, of AI software developer Whiterabbit.ai, and senior author Richard Wahl, MD, of the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, trained and tested a deep-learning algorithm using over 160,000 2D full-field digital mammography exams. They found their model could sharply reduce the number of screening mammograms requiring radiologist revie...

AI helps select patients for supplemental breast cancer screening
In conclusion, AISmartDensity effectively identified patients who were likely to benefit from supplemental imaging after a negative screening mammogram,” they wrote.
The researchers noted that their model is currently acting as a postscreening reader in a randomized clinical trial to flag high-risk mammograms for supplemental MRI. This trial will provide further evidence of the model’s real-world performance in a clinical setting, according to the authors.
“This study highlights the potential of AI-based risk prediction in the era of personalized screening, offering precise identification of individuals who could b...
