A model combining deep learning features and clinical variables demonstrated a 30 percent higher AUC than a clinical model for detecting DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma from suspicious microcalcifications on mammography, according to a new study.
GE HealthCare Launches AI Mammography Platform with Key Applications from iCAD
November 30th 2023Offering an all-in-one platform of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, MyBreastAI Suite reportedly facilitates early breast cancer detection and enhances efficiency with breast imaging workflows.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
Study Says Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Offers Comparable Breast Cancer Detection to MRI
November 15th 2023In findings from an enriched cohort of asymptomatic patients with screening-detected abnormalities, researchers found that contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was superior to conventional mammography and offered equivalent detection of breast cancer in comparison to breast MRI and abbreviated breast MRI.
What a New Review Reveals About Mammography-Based AI and Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
November 9th 2023Mammography-based artificial intelligence (AI) models demonstrated an 11 percent higher median AUC for predicting breast cancer than traditional clinical risk factors, according to a new systematic review of 16 retrospective studies.
Mammography News: FDA Clears AI Software for Breast Arterial Calcification Detection
October 17th 2023Utilized in conjunction with screening digital mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software cmAngio may help detect and localize breast arterial calcification (BAC), an incidental finding that has been linked to an elevated risk for heart disease and stroke.
Mammography-Based Deep Learning Model Facilitates Higher Breast Cancer Detection on Screening MRI
September 22nd 2023New research suggests the capability of a mammography-based deep learning model to identify women at high risk of breast cancer led to more than triple the cancer detection rate on breast MRI in comparison to traditional risk assessment tools.
Large Mammography Study Suggests AI is Equivalent to Radiologists for Double Reading of Exams
September 11th 2023In a prospective study of over 55,000 women who had screening mammography, researchers found that double-reading by a radiologist and artificial intelligence (AI) was non-inferior to double-reading by two radiologists in detecting breast cancer.
Can AI Match Radiologist Assessment of Screening Mammography Exams?
September 5th 2023In separate test sets that included challenging mammography cases, researchers found that artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrated similar sensitivity and specificity for detecting breast cancer in comparison to assessments from over 500 clinicians.
New Research Shows Consequences of Delayed Diagnosis in Mammography Screening
August 22nd 2023Primary diagnostic delays in mammography screening led to a greater than 10 percent higher incidence of lymph node metastasis with invasive breast cancer in comparison to women without a primary diagnostic delay, according to new research out of the Netherlands.
Study Reveals Tradeoffs Between Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and MRI for Supplemental Screening
August 16th 2023In a new study comparing standard breast MRI, abbreviated breast MRI and contrast-enhanced mammography in supplemental breast cancer screening, researchers found that MRI offered a greater than 14 percent higher cancer detection rate and a nearly 39 percent higher sensitivity rate than CEM.
