While noting no differences in sensitivity, specificity or reading time with adjunctive AI for mammography screening, the authors of a new study noted a 4 percent higher AUC and increased fixation time on lesion regions.

While there was a decline of AUC for mammography AI software from breast-level assessments to lesion-level evaluation, the authors of a new study, involving 1,200 women, found that AI offered over a seven percent higher AUC for lesion-level interpretation in comparison to unassisted expert readers.

Artificial intelligence (AI) software had a 14 percent false negative rate in a new study involving over 1,082 women with invasive breast cancer.

In a study involving over 1,000 women with breast cancer, researchers found that patients with screening-detected breast cancer had a five-year survival rate of 94.4 percent in comparison to 79.6 percent for women with clinically detected breast cancer.

While the addition of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) led to over a 13 percent increase in false positive cases, researchers also noted over double the cancer yield per 1,000 women in comparison to DBT alone.

New research showed a 96 to 97 percent sensitivity for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) with an increased iodine delivery rate facilitating robust contrast enhancement for women with aggressive breast cancer.

Through AI recognition of subtle patterns in breast tissue on screening mammograms, the Clairity Breast software reportedly provides validated risk scoring for predicting one’s five-year risk of breast cancer.

High allostatic load, which has been linked to an increased incidence of breast cancer and all-cause mortality, is more than twice as likely to occur in Black and Hispanic women in comparison to White women, according to mammography research presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference.

For women with dense breasts and negative mammograms, contrast-enhanced mammography and abbreviated MRI provided respective cancer detection rates of 19.2 per 1000 exams and 17.4 per 1000 exams, according to new research.

In a study involving over 12,000 Asian women, researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) model converted over 83 percent of false positives in patients with initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 assessments into benign BI-RADS categories.

Emerging research suggests that radiomic breast texture features extracted from full-field digital mammography may bolster prognostic assessments of invasive breast cancer risk beyond traditional risk factors.

The use of AI software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) facilitated a higher cancer detection rate and over double the PPV for exams with abnormal interpretation, according to a newly published study.

For DBT breast cancer screening, 47 percent of radiologist-only flagged false positives involved mass presentations whereas 40 percent of AI-only flagged false positive cases involved benign calcifications, according to research presented at the recent American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) conference.

In comparison to minimal or mild background parenchymal enhancement on contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), researchers found that moderate or marked BPE was associated with a 12 percent lower AUC for breast cancer detection.
