From hesitation to integration: Evidence-based adoption of breast imaging AI

Breast imaging artificial intelligence (AI) has moved beyond “Does it work?” to “Can we implement it — reliably, repeatably, and at scale?”

This webinar explores how leading programs turned clinical evidence into operational reality, with case studies that demonstrate meaningful adoption in real screening environments.

We’ll discuss what drives clinician confidence, what changes when AI becomes part of routine decision-making, and how successful sites measure impact on workload, recalls, and detection. You’ll leave with a grounded view of what adoption looks like in practice — plus the key implementation choices that separate one-off pilots/research studies from day-to-day clinical use.
