AI may provide early breast cancer alerts from mammograms

By Amerigo Allegretto

Commercial AI systems could provide early alerts for breast cancer by picking out early signs of the disease on mammograms.

June 9, 2026

Screening mammograms and AI score changes are depicted over time in two individuals with screen-detected cancer. Full-field digital mammograms show craniocaudal (top) and mediolateral (bottom) views of the left and right breast. The description below each mammogram indicates whether AI scores from three AI-based computer-aided detection systems (AI-1, AI-2, and AI-3) were above or below the 90th percentile. (A) Mammograms from three screening time points (in 2009, 2011, and 2014) in an individual who was diagnosed in February 2014 (at age 73 years) with a left-sided 25-mm grade 2 invasive breast carcinoma, no special type (arrow). Mammographic breast density was classified as BI-RADS B on all three mammograms. (B) Mammograms from four screening time points (in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015) in an individual who was diagnosed in October 2015 (at age 65 years) with a left-sided 45-mm grade 2 lobular carcinoma (arrow). Mammographic breast density was classified as BI-RADS C on all four mammograms. Screen-detected cancers were defined as those diagnosed within 90 days for individuals who were recalled at screening (*).

AI approach could improve DBT efficiency

By Amerigo Allegretto

AI-based slab reconstruction may help improve screening DBT workflows while not compromising on image quality.

June 2, 2026

Slab reconstruction provides visualization of subtle architectural distortion similar to that of standard 1-mm slices in a false-positive screening exam. Images include breast exams from a 45-year-old woman who underwent screening mammography. Craniocaudal tomosynthesis images with (A) 1-mm slices and (B) 6-mm slab reconstructions show an area of architectural distortion in the subareolar region of the left breast (arrow). (C) Targeted ultrasound imaging shows a corresponding irregular hypoechoic mass (arrow), which was subsequently biopsied. Pathologic examination revealed a sclerosing papillary lesion.
