Full-field digital screening mammograms in participants recalled by the consensus discussion after being flagged by artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) but not by either of the two radiologists. (A) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 73 for a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 3 in situ cancer and T1 (9-mm) invasive cancer in the left breast and lymph node metastasis. (B) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 54 for a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 2 in situ cancer and T1 (6-mm) invasive cancer in the right breast and without lymph node metastasis.

DL algorithm targeting prostate cancer demonstrates clinical impact

MRI scans show two areas of clinically significant prostate cancer in a 65-year-old man with a prostate-specific antigen level of 8.23 ng/mL. Images are (A, E) axial T2-weighted images, (B, F) axial diffusion-weighted images obtained with a b value of 1500 sec/mm2, (C, G) axial apparent diffusion coefficient images, and (D, H) lesion masks generated by the deep learning algorithm (DLA) on T2-weighted images. The DLA detected a lesion in the right posteromedial peripheral zone of the apex (D), which was assigned as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 4. A radiologist also detected the lesion and assigned it PI-RADS 4 (arrow in A-C). A lesion in the right anterior transition zone (H) was detected by the DLA, which was assigned PI-RADS 4. The radiologist did not detect the lesion (arrow in E-G). Both lesions were confirmed as prostate cancer with Gleason grade group 2. Caption and image courtesy of RSNA.
