Switching from CAD to AI improves performance of screening DBT

Radiologists at Indiana University Health (IUH) Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, IN, said an AI-based algorithm produced better performance than CAD on four key metrics.

“AI applications will likely allow radiologists to improve their clinical performance, i.e., their cancer detection rate, while potentially lowering costs by decreasing the abnormal interpretation and recall rate and possibly biopsies,” said presenter Dr. Colleen Madden. “AI does not eliminate the need for radiologists but will extend our capabilities.”
