Researchers have conducted the first real-world test of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast cancer screening, demonstrating increased detection rates without raising false positives. In a nationwide study involving 461,818 women, AI-assisted screenings resulted in a 17.6% higher cancer detection rate. AI's "safety net" system flagged scans deemed suspicious by AI but assessed as normal by radiologists, aiding in identifying additional cancer cases. The approach effectively reduced radiologists' workload while maintaining accuracy, boosting efficiency. Experts acknowledge AI's potential in mammography but caution about the risk of overdiagnosis and emphasize careful integration into healthcare systems.
