A Dutch research team demonstrated that a 'hybrid' AI strategy can reduce radiologist workload in mammography screening by nearly 40% without affecting performance.
Key Details
- 1'Hybrid' AI workflow allows standalone AI to interpret confidently assessed mammograms, while uncertain cases go to radiologists.
- 2The study was conducted using historical mammogram datasets.
- 3Radiologists' workload was reduced by approximately 38% with this approach.
- 4There was no decrease in recall or cancer detection rates when using this system.
- 5Findings are published in RSNA's Radiology journal.
Why It Matters
This hybrid AI model may offer a practical route to address radiologist shortages and burnout in breast cancer screening, while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. Demonstrating effective workload reduction is key for the real-world adoption and acceptance of AI in clinical radiology.
