Keynote Presentation: Say Aye to AI: How could artificial intelligence applications aid breast cancer screening?

Artificial intelligence (AI) may provide the opportunity to detect more cancers while reducing workload in breast screening. The University of Aberdeen along with colleagues at NHS Grampian and Kheiron Medical Technologies Ltd. have been evaluating how Mia, an AI tool, could be used in breast screening. The retrospective evaluation using mammograms from women attending routine breast screening highlighted that the AI tool could detect more cancers if integrated into the screening pathway but was vulnerable to changes in the mammography machine software that would prohibit effective implementation into the screening pathways. Our recent results from the first UK AI in breast screening prospective study (GEMINI) has demonstrated that AI would improve cancer detection without increasing the number of women needing further evaluation and provide substantial workload savings.
