A massive real-world study by RadNet shows AI-assisted mammography increased breast cancer detection by 21.6%.
Key Details
- 1Study published in Nature Health analyzed over 579,000 mammograms.
- 2Mammograms collected from 109 imaging sites across four US states.
- 3Addition of AI improved cancer detection rates by 21.6% versus standard 3D mammography.
- 4Recall rates were unchanged and positive predictive value increased by 15%.
- 5The study is noted as the largest real-world analysis of AI-backed breast screening in the US, addressing diversity and scale.
Why It Matters
The results strongly support the effectiveness of AI in breast cancer screening at scale, reinforcing its potential to improve diagnostic outcomes in diverse real-world settings. The robust data set and measurable improvements highlight AI’s growing value for radiology practice and patient care.
