TL;DR Summary

The world's largest trial of its kind has found that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast cancer screening is safe and can significantly reduce the workload of radiologists. The study compared AI-supported screening with standard care and found that AI screening was as effective as two radiologists working together, did not increase false positives, and reduced the workload of radiologists by almost half. The interim analysis concluded that AI-supported mammography screening is safe and could help address the shortage of radiologists. However, further research is needed to assess the impact on patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness. The final trial results are expected in the coming years.
