Recent studies from Sweden have highlighted a significant breakthrough in breast cancer screening through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). According to BOL News, a landmark study involving nearly 100,000 women demonstrated that AI could reduce the workload of radiologists by 44% while enhancing the identification of aggressive tumors. This study, published in The Lancet, is the first large randomized trial assessing AI's performance in real-world screening programs, as reported by Medical Dialogues. The trial, conducted between April 2021 and December 2022, divided participants into two groups: a standard screening group and an AI-supported group. The AI system initially evaluated all scans, with low-risk cases reviewed by one radiologist and higher-risk cases by two radiologists, with AI highlighting suspicious areas. The results were promising, with fewer women in the AI group being diagnosed with breast cancer in the years following screening—1.55 cases per 1,000 women compared to 1.76 in the standard group.
