In a recent video interview, Susan Holley, MD discussed key findings from a large retrospective longitudinal study, presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, which found that an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model was over 24 percent more consistent than radiologist assessment of breast density.

An emerging artificial intelligence algorithm, developed to estimate volumetric breast density from 3D-reconstructed digital breast tomosynthesis images, could potentially facilitate individual risk assessments for breast cancer.

In separate test sets of Israeli women and United States women who had either ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive breast cancer, emerging artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms achieved an area under the curve (AOC) of 88 percent and 80 percent, respectively, for malignancy detection.

Rads will always have to deal with forces outside of their control, but it’s how we address those forces that makes us the type of radiologist we can be proud of.
