US EditionArtificial Intelligence Helps Doctors Detect Breast Cancer Better
NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Artificial intelligence boosts radiologist efficiency by automating routine tasks and increasing diagnostic accuracy, helping reduce burnout amid growing scan volumes, studies show.
- A study published in Radiology on July 8, 2025, found that using AI enhances radiologists’ ability to identify breast cancer when interpreting screening mammograms.
- This study arose from the growing demand for radiological services and advances in AI technology aimed at addressing radiologist workload and burnout.
- Researchers used eye-tracking to compare 12 radiologists reading 150 mammograms with and without AI support, revealing that AI directed attention to suspicious areas without increasing reading time.
- "The results are encouraging," said Jessie Gommers, noting AI helped radiologists focus on relevant regions, reassured them on low-risk cases, and improved diagnostic confidence.
- The study suggests that selective, accurate AI use may enhance screening performance and reduce radiologist burnout by automating tasks and supporting decision-making.

Robust Bi-CBMSegNet framework for advancing breast mass segmentation in mammography with a dual module encoder-decoder approach
Breast cancer is a prevalent disease affecting millions of women worldwide, and early screening can significantly reduce mortality rates. Mammograms are widely used for screening, but manual readings can lead to misdiagnosis. Computer-assisted diagnosis can help physicians make faster, more accurate judgments, which benefits patients. However, segmenting and classifying breast masses in mammograms is challenging due to their similar shapes to th…
AI helps radiologists keep an eye on breast cancer detection
Radiologists who used artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in reading mammograms were able to devote more attention to suspicious areas, according to a recent study published in the journal Radiology.
