AI Performs Comparably to Human Readers of Mammograms

Imaging Technology

milla1cf Tue, 09/05/2023 - 09:00 September 5, 2023 — Using a standardized assessment, researchers in the UK compared the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with human readers of screening mammograms. For each test mammogram, the reader’s score is compared to the ground truth of the AI results.

Deep Learning Model Estimates Cancer Risk from Breast Density

Imaging Technology

Using nearly 160,000 full-field digital mammogram images that were assigned density values on a visual analogue scale by experts (radiologists, advanced practitioner radiographers, and breast physicians) from 39,357 women, the researchers developed a procedure for estimating the density score for each mammogram image.

Why understanding breast density matters

The British Institute of Radiology

Women with dense breasts are BOTH more likely to develop breast cancer and more likely to have that cancer missed on a mammogram [5] Fig. 1 – Cancer on a mammogram of a fatty vs a dense breast What is Dense Breast Tissue? Breast density is determined through a mammogram and described as one of four categories (Fig.
