AI in Radiology: capabilities and evidence
6.4 vs 5.0 cancers detected per 1,000 screened
What has AI demonstrated?
6.4 vs 5.0 cancers detected per 1,000 screened
- Test
- Randomized AI-supported mammography reading; reported 29% detection increase and 44% less reading workload.
- Comparison
- Standard double reading without AI; the intervention still includes radiologists.
- System and version
- MASAI · 2025
