Kentucky Insurance Law, AI for Supplemental Screening
New U.S. State Insurance Law
The state of Kentucky becomes the 28th state to enact a law requiring some level of insurance coverage for additional breast imaging after a mammogram.
New Study
Just out in Radiology, study Use of an AI Score Combining Cancer Signs, Masking, and Risk to Select Patients for Supplemental Breast Cancer Screening. This large retrospective study found that an AI-based risk model incorporating cancer signs, masking and risk was superior to breast density alone in identifying patients with a negative screening mammogram who were likely to develop subsequent breast cancer. The AI-based risk model, known as AISmartDensity, identified 33% of future cancers compared to 13% for the density-based model.
