The report's lead author said the results were 'promising' and could inform ways to 'address the pronounced radiologist shortage in many countries'.
A FIRST OF its kind randomised controlled trial involving over 80,000 Swedish women has found that artificial intelligence -supported mammography screenings are as good as two breast radiologists working together to detect breast cancer.
European guidelines recommend a double reading of screening mammograms by two radiologists to ensure a correct identification. AI has been proposed as an automated second reader for mammograms to reduce workload and improve screening accuracy, but robust evidence had been lacking. AI-supported screening detected 20% more cancers compared with the routine double reading of mammograms by two breast radiologists, with 41 more cancers detected with the support of AI.Overall, AI-supported screening resulted in a cancer detection rate of six per 1,000 screened women, compared to five per 1,000 for standard double reading without AI.
“While our AI-supported screening system requires at least one radiologist in charge of detection, it could potentially do away with the need for double reading of the majority of mammograms, easing the pressure on workloads and enabling radiologists to focus on more advanced diagnostics while shortening waiting times for patients.”
