A new image-only AI model more accurately predicts five-year breast cancer risk than breast density alone, according to multinational research presented at RSNA 2025.
Key Details
- 1Image-only AI risk model analyzed 421,500 mammograms from 27 centers in Europe, South America, and the U.S.
- 2AI-derived five-year risk score outperformed breast density as a predictor: density HR=1.16; AI intermediate-risk HR=2.06; AI high-risk HR=4.49.
- 3Combining AI risk score and breast density further improved risk stratification.
- 4Researchers say the approach could guide more personalized screening and supplemental imaging decisions.
- 5Findings presented by Dr. Christiane Kuhl at RSNA 2025; experts note potential for earlier screening activation based on AI risk scores.
Why It Matters
The study demonstrates that AI-based risk assessment from mammograms could supplement or surpass current risk prediction methods, enabling more personalized screening protocols and potentially leading to earlier breast cancer detection for high-risk women.
