This Finnish company (Hall B, #7142) is developing a full-field digital mammography system that it plans to offer as a retrofit to its installed base of Sophie screening units. Sophie Digital uses charge-coupled device (CCD) technology and a slot-scanning architecture, with resolution of 17 line pairs/mm and a field-of-view of 24 x 30 cm. Planmed hopes to start clinical trials of the system next year in preparation for a regulatory submission to the FDA.
AI-Initiated Recalls After Screening Mammography Demonstrate Higher PPV for Breast Cancer
March 18th 2025While recalls initiated by one of two reviewing radiologists after screening mammography were nearly 10 percent higher than recalls initiated by an AI software, the AI-initiated recalls had an 85 percent higher positive predictive value for breast cancer, according to a new study.

Study: Mammography AI Leads to 29 Percent Increase in Breast Cancer Detection
February 5th 2025Use of the mammography AI software had a nearly equivalent false positive rate as unassisted radiologist interpretation and resulted in a 44 percent reduction in screen reading workload, according to findings from a randomized controlled trial involving over 105,000 women.
