AI cuts radiologist workload and improves mammography screening: study
The cancer detection rate increased after an AI system was introduced in a breast screening program.
Radiologists experienced a one third reduction in their overall workload when artificial intelligence (AI) was involved in interpreting a mammography screening program, a study shows.
Implementing AI also improved screening performance, authors from Denmark report.
They compared workload and screening performance for two cohorts of women who underwent breast cancer screening before (2020 – 2021) and after (2021 – 2022) the introduction of an AI system.
The analysis included more than 60,700 women (50-69 years old) who had biennial mammography screening before AI implementation and some 58,200 after AI implementation.
