$16M PRISM Trial Launches to Evaluate AI in Breast Cancer Mammography

A landmark $16M clinical trial led by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center will assess AI's impact on radiologist performance in mammography screening.

Key Details

  • 1PRISM is the first major randomized U.S. trial to study AI in breast cancer screening.
  • 2Supported by a $16 million award from PCORI, the study spans hundreds of thousands of mammograms across six states.
  • 3Seven academic medical centers, including UCLA and University of Miami, are participating.
  • 4The trial uses Transpara by ScreenPoint Medical as the AI tool, integrated via Aidoc aiOS.
  • 5Radiologists will remain in control of interpretations, with randomized assignment to AI-assisted or radiologist-only reads.
  • 6Outcomes include cancer detection, recall rates, and perceptions of AI from both patients and clinicians.

Why It Matters

This large, multicenter trial could establish high-level evidence on the true value of AI assistance in real-world breast imaging, directly influencing clinical implementation, policy, and practice. Its patient-centered design and rigorous methodology will help clarify how—and for whom—AI can best improve breast cancer screening results.
