Another study is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) is as good as a specialist doctor in spotting breast cancer on a mammogram. But don't expect computers to take over the job from humans, experts say.
, researchers found that it was basically a tie., and correctly gave an all-clear to just over three-quarters of mammograms from women without cancer.
That's because a mammogram is an old-fashioned X-ray—although in the United States, Philpotts noted, better-performing digital 3D mammography is increasingly replacing the conventional kind. It might, for example, give mammograms a first pass, flagging ones that look suspicious so radiologists can prioritize them, he said. And in any given mammogram, AI might highlight areas that seem abnormal.
The new study compared a commercially available AI tool—Lunit's INSIGHT MMG—against the mammography-reading prowess of 552 U.K. radiologists, radiographers and breast clinicians.had read a set of 120"challenging" mammograms as part of a routine performance assessment, sometime between 2018 and 2021. The researchers had the AI tool read those same mammograms in 2022.
