Women’s imaging encompasses many radiology procedures related to women and the diseases that are most prevalent to women such as breast cancer or gynecological issues. Mammogram, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and breast biopsy are the most commonly used procedures.
“Analyzing the AI scores of screened individuals over time could provide insight into how early detectable changes arise, potentially allowing for earlier intervention," researchers write in Radiology.
AI shines as a first reader for ruling out suspicious findings in breast cancer screening exams, a new analysis in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence reveals.
Ivenia ABUS Premium was designed to help streamline the supplemental breast ultrasound workloads and enhance diagnoses by improving ease of use and image reproducibility.
There are no standards requiring radiologists to report on the presence of BACs, even though up to half of referring providers have indicated they would prefer to be made aware of the finding.
Breast artery calcifications are already visible when radiologists review mammograms, but nothing typically happens with them. Researchers aimed to see if AI could help translate those findings into an easy-to-understand cardiovascular risk score.
Despite the great progress that has been made toward the clinical implementation of AI, new data caution against trusting the technology as a single reader in certain settings.
