Using AI with mammography can help select women for breast MRI

By Amerigo Allegretto

Using AI with mammography can help select women at high risk of breast cancer for supplemental MRI.

February 4, 2025

Images depict a 55-year-old woman with a family history of breast cancer who underwent combined mammography and MRI screening. (A) Right and (B) left mediolateral oblique and (C) right and (D) left craniocaudal mammograms show a large known cyst in the left breast (arrow in B and D), but were otherwise assessed as being unremarkable. Breast tissue was judged to be extremely dense. (E) Concurrent axial subtraction MRI scan shows a large, diffuse, invasive lobular cancer (circle) in the right breast. The AI system provided a case-based cancer suspicion score of 8 on a scale of 0-10, which would have led to selection for MRI screening using both the score 5 and score 8 thresholds, but not the score 9 threshold.
