AI in mammography screening is a \u0027safe\u0027 way to help cut patient waiting times and reduce the pressure on radiologists
The authors didn’t measure the time it took radiologists to do the readings, but assuming a rate of about 50 readings per hour per radiologist, they calculated that it would have taken one radiologist 4 to 6 months less to read the mammograms in the AI test group compared to the mammograms in the standard screening group.
James O’Connor said the idea that artificial intelligence would ever replace radiologists is “nonsense.” In the hospital where he works, as well as many others around the world, there is a shortage of experienced radiologists and an increasing pile of scans to be read. Instead, he says that the right AI model, if well-implemented, could help radiologists focus on tougher cases to diagnose and on other types of scans.
One concern arising from the study is that, in detecting more cancers, the AI-supported screening may also over-diagnose or catch cancers that represent a low risk to patients.
