A few prospective studies have suggested that AI use in mammography screening increases cancer detection. However, cancer detection supported with AI should not predominately identify indolent cancers or occur at the expense of more false positives; instead, AI usage should increase the detection of clinically relevant cancers.

About the study

In the present study, researchers assessed the performance of cancer screening measures in the MASAI trial. The trial was designed to compare AI-supported mammography screening with standard double-reading.
