![]() ![]() “These promising interim safety results should be used to inform new trials and program-based evaluations to address the pronounced radiologist shortage in many countries, but they are not enough on their own to confirm that AI is ready to be implemented in mammography screening,” Lang said, per The Guardian. Kristina Lang, from Lund University in Sweden, said while the results were positive, it was too soon to place the responsibility of reading mammogram x-rays entirely with new AI-driven tools. “AI-supported mammography screening resulted in a similar cancer detection rate compared with standard double reading, with a substantially lower screen-reading workload, indicating that the use of AI in mammography screening is safe,” researchers wrote. ![]() The AI-supported screening found 244 women, 28% of the group, had cancer while the radiologist team discovered 203, 25%, with cancer signs. The AI-assisted mammogram evaluations were also performed 44% faster than those done by the radiologist team. ![]() The AI-assisted scans discovered 20% more early cancer signs, according to the study, and had a false positive rate, 1.5%, one that matched that of the human-only mammogram readings. An ongoing Swedish study assessing the effectiveness of artificial intelligence tools in detecting early signs of breast cancer is producing results showing the computer-based scans are catching more warning signs, and doing it faster, than its human counterparts.īut researchers warn AI, while safe and exhibiting a false positive rate similar to traditional radiologist readings of mammograms, isn’t quite ready to replace medical professionals.Ī study published Tuesday in The Lancet Oncology included results from scans of mammograms from 80,000 patients in Sweden in which half were reviewed by two-person teams of radiologists and half were reviewed by a radiologist after first being assessed by AI. ![]()
