“In recent years, AI has been studied for the purpose of diagnosing breast cancer earlier by automatically detecting breast cancers in mammograms and measuring the risk of future breast cancer.” Diagnostic AI models are trained to detect suspicious lesions on mammograms and are well suited to estimate short-term breast cancer risk.

Further, the task force incorrectly concludes there is “inadequate” evidence to support adding screening MRI (or ultrasound if MRI is not possible) after a mammogram for many women with dense breasts. In women with the densest breasts, about 40% of cancers are missed on a mammogram. But women with dense breasts are at higher risk.
