Retrospective studies have shown promising results using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve mammography screening accuracy and reduce screen-reading workload.
However, a randomised trial has not yet been conducted.
Planned interim safety analysis of the first randomised trial is investigating the use of AI in a national breast cancer screening programme.
It underscores the potential of AI to make mammography screening more accurate and efficient.
Interim findings from a cohort of over 80,000 women in Sweden reveal AI-supported screening detected 20% more cancers.
The use of AI did not increase false positives (when a mammogram is incorrectly diagnosed as abnormal) and reduced the mammogram reading workload by 44%.
Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) detected one-fifth more breast cancers compared with standard screening.
