Study claims AI could boost detection of breast cancer by 21%
A U.S. breast-screening program claims to demonstrate the potential benefits of using AI in mammography screening.
A U.S. breast-screening program claims to demonstrate the potential benefits of using artificial intelligence (AI) in mammography screening, with women who paid for AI-enhanced scans 21% more likely to have cancer detected. Food and Drug Administration-compliant AI software” applied to their mammograms (at their own expense), serving as a “second set of eyes” to help radiologists spot anomalies in mammography screenings. The findings suggest that 22% of the overall cancer detection increase was due to the fact that higher-risk patients were more likely to enroll in the program to begin with (implying selection bias), but its analysis concluded that the remaining 21% was due to the use of AI in driving recall rates for additional imaging.
