million mammograms were performed in the U.S. Although mammogram is the most widely used screening modality, a known problem is that 9.5% Starting with mammography images, the work is important for finding ways to alleviate the region's radiologist workforce shortage and staffing pressures, according to Imperial College London.

Curve-shaped breast compression paddles may lead to some pain relief, but they also reduce image quality on mammograms, suggest findings published August 20 in Radiology. Two radiographers and two radiologists performed unblinded paired comparisons of images from both paddle types, using standard image quality criteria.

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.

New AI integrations are further elevating the impact of this technology, not only by acting as a valuable second set of eyes for radiologists but also by providing standardized breast density assessments. As the technology matures and algorithms are further refined, radiologists are gaining greater confidence in the specificity of results.

While various methods are available to estimate this measure, studies have shown that subjective assessments conducted by radiologists based on visual analogue scales are more accurate than any other method. This, in turn, can enable improved performance in tasks such as cancer risk prediction or image segmentation.
