For women with intermediate risk and a personal history of breast cancer, an emerging AI system offered an 81 percent AUC for breast cancer detection, according to new research.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

In a study of over 463,000 women who had screening mammography exams, adjunctive AI led to a 17.6 percent higher detection rate for breast cancer and a three percent increase in positive predictive value for recalls.

In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening.

Originally cleared by the FDA in 2021, the SmartMammo Dx software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can now be utilized with the Senographe Pristina mammography systems from GE HealthCare.

The new mammography system reportedly offers features that promote workflow efficiency as well as patient comfort.
