New Study in Radiology on Supplemental Screening
New Study
In a recent publication in Radiology, researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden used AI to analyze breast density, presence of masses and calcifications, and differences between right and left breasts to successfully predict women who would develop interval cancer or advanced cancer in the two years after a normal mammogram; their model proved more accurate than traditional risk models and can augment genetic/family history to help identify women who should and, importantly, who should not have supplemental screening after 2D mammography.
