Breast cancer screenings can save lives through earlier detection. Mammograms are among the most common tests, although MRI scans and ultrasounds are other possibilities. Numerous studies show artificial intelligence (AI) could improve outcomes in various ways. Such results enable health care providers to support their patients and have more potential interventions to explore.

A common method of reducing false positives during breast cancer screenings is to have two radiologists examine a patient’s results. Agreement from both minimizes the chances of misinterpretation. However, some health care systems face radiologist shortages, increasing these professionals’ work-related burdens.
