AI-Supported Mammography Increases Early Detection and Reduces Aggressive Breast Cancers: Study
A Swedish trial involving 100,000 women showed AI-supported mammography detected 12% fewer interval cancers and reduced aggressive cancer cases without increasing false positives.
- The EDITH trial in Sweden involving 100,000 women found AI-supported mammography increased detection from 74% to 81%, published in The Lancet.
- The AI system was trained on more than 200,000 exams from more than 10 countries and triaged mammograms to single-reading and double-reading workflows by radiologists, tested in the EDITH trial launched last year.
- Follow-Up data recorded a 12% reduction in interval cancers and fewer invasive, large, and aggressive cancers in the AI group.

AI-supported breast cancer screenings result in fewer aggressive cases
Routine screening prevents around 1,300 deaths from breast cancer each year in the UK, but AI-supported mammography screenings could save more lives
AI-assisted mammograms cut risk of developing aggressive breast cancer
Interval cancers are aggressive tumours that grow during the interval after someone has been screened for cancer and before they are screened again, and AI seems to be able to identify them at an early stage
More Evidence Backs AI-Supported Mammography
(MedPage Today) -- Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) showed consistently favorable outcomes compared with standard double reading by radiologists, including a noninferior interval cancer rate, according to results...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is looking for its niche in medicine and in support of reading diagnostic tests has found a thread. The latest example of its advances in this field is a clinical trial, published on Thursday in The Lancet, which has validated the potential of AI in breast cancer screenings. Research, in which more than 100,000 women have participated in Sweden, has shown that reading mammograms improves the early detection of breast…
