Radiologists using AI visual cues are more likely to identify breast cancers on mammograms, as revealed by eye-tracking analysis.
Key Details
- 1Study published in RSNA's journal Radiology.
- 2Researchers used camera-based eye-tracking to observe 12 radiologists interpreting 150 mammograms (75 malignant, 75 benign).
- 3AI decision support highlighted suspicious areas and assigned malignancy likelihood scores (0-100).
- 4Eye-tracking identified where and how long readers focused on specific image regions with and without AI support.
- 5AI support altered reading patterns and improved cancer detection.
Why It Matters
This study provides concrete evidence that AI tools not only assist radiologists with detection but also change how they visually interact with imaging, which could lead to more effective mammography interpretation and ultimately improve breast cancer outcomes.
