Top Story

A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.

Representative participant from each group shown. C-11 DTBZ non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) in voxels quantitated with simplified reference tissue model 2. Color scale indicates C-11 DTBZ BPND from 0 (black) to 3.5 (red), with reduced C-11 DTBZ BPND observed in the long COVID case compared to both healthy controls.
