Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston have confirmed what mammographers have long suspected: Digital screening mammograms may take twice as long to read as film.
Dr. Tamara Miner Haygood and colleagues clocked four radiologists as they interpreted 268 digital and 189 screen-film mammograms. They compared interpretation times for such variables as BI-RADS classification or availability of older soft- or hard-display comparative studies. Researchers also noted individual radiologists’ modus operandi. They found that it took all readers an average of four minutes to interpret digital screening mammograms but only slightly more than two minutes to read film studies. They published their findings in the January issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

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.
