Concordant AI and Radiologist Mammography Linked to Higher Risk
New evidence on concordant AI and radiologist readings in mammography A recent retrospective study published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence examined how the agreement between radiologist interpretations and standalone AI assessments of screening mammography relates to future breast cancer risk. Using data from 82,899 women with a median follow-up of about five years, researchers compared four…

Mammography Study Shows Elevated Future Breast Cancer Risk with Initial Concordance of Radiologist and AI Interpretation
Overview A new retrospective study published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence examines how agreement between radiologist interpretation and standalone AI assessment of screening mammography correlates with the risk of developing breast cancer within five years. The findings suggest that concordant positive results between radiologist and AI are associated with markedly higher future cancer risk than either…

Concordant AI–Radiologist Findings on Mammography Predict Higher Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk
How Concordant AI and Radiologist Readings Elevate Risk Signals A new retrospective study published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence has found that when a screening mammogram yields concordant positive results from both the radiologist and an AI tool, the five-year risk of developing breast cancer is markedly higher than when both interpretations are negative. The study…

AI Improves Detection, Reduces False Positives on Mammograms
AI Enhances Mammography: Early Detection Meets Fewer False Alarms Artificial intelligence is moving from theory to bedside in breast cancer screening. In a major update, AI-assisted mammography is helping radiologists identify cancers earlier while trimming the number of false positives that lead to unnecessary follow-up tests. The program, piloted by California’s Sutter Health, demonstrates how…

AI Improves Detection, Reduces ‘False Positives’ on Mammograms
AI Improves Detection and Reduces False Positives in Mammography Artificial intelligence is making meaningful strides in breast cancer screening. By enhancing the accuracy of mammograms, AI helps radiologists detect cancers earlier while reducing the number of false positives that lead to unnecessary follow-up procedures. One health system at the forefront of this shift is California-based…

AI-Enhanced Mammograms: Boosting Detection and Reducing False Positives
AI in Mammography: A New Era for Early Detection Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a core ally in breast cancer screening. By integrating AI-driven analysis with traditional mammography, health systems can improve the precision of readings, speed up results, and help clinicians tailor care to individual patients. The latest deployments show that AI can enhance…

Dense Breasts: How to Identify Density and Your Cancer Risk
Understanding breast density and what it means Breast density refers to the mix of tissue in your breasts: fatty tissue versus glandular and fibrous tissue. A higher proportion of dense tissue means your breasts are denser. Density is common: roughly 40–50% of women over 40 have dense breasts when they undergo mammography. On a mammogram,…

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Identifying Dense Breasts and Their Cancer Risk
Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the invisible risk of dense breasts October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a period to highlight rising global incidence and the stark differences in survival. Among the less-visible risk factors is breast density—a common condition that can increase cancer risk and make tumors harder to detect on standard mammograms. Understanding…

Dense Breasts and Cancer Risk: A Practical Guide to Detecting Density
Understanding Dense Breasts and Why They Matter October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to spotlight breast health and the importance of early detection. Among the varied risk factors, breast density is one of the most common and least visible. Dense breast tissue is rich in glandular and fibrous tissue and contains less fat.…

Mammography Delays Hit 30-Week Waits in Abitibi-Témiscamingue
Long Mammography Waits Create Barriers to Early Detection in Abitibi-Témiscamingue In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, residents face mammography wait times that can exceed 30 weeks, far above what is considered timely in many other regions. The Fondation du cancer du sein du Québec is sounding the alarm as October — Breast Cancer Awareness Month — brings renewed attention…
