Single-view DBT and AI setup allows for effective screening mammography

A study published in Radiology determined that a single digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) image in combination with artificial intelligence (AI) improves radiologists' productivity.

A retrospective study of 190 women with bilateral mediolateral oblique breast images that were acquired with a wide-angle DBT system was obtained.  The examination -based reader- average AUC was higher when interpreting results with AI support than when reading unaided.  The average sensitivity increased with AI support, whereas no differences in the specificity and reading time were detected.

The authors concluded that using a single-view DBT in conjunction with an AI setup could allow for more effective screening, especially in cancers detected, than using DBT alone.
