Scientific summary

This clinical validation study evaluates whether AI-assisted mammography reading improves sensitivity in a Vietnamese cohort with high breast-density prevalence.

Abstract

This ECR 2024 exhibit evaluates AI assistance for mammography screening in a Vietnamese cohort with high breast-density prevalence.

Why it matters

The study is clinically relevant because dense breast tissue can reduce mammographic conspicuity, motivating workflow-level evaluation of AI support.

Contribution

It compares BI-RADS-based mammography assessment with and without Transpara Breast AI support.

Method overview

A prospective Hanoi Medical University Hospital cohort was analyzed using radiologist reads, BI-RADS scoring, and ROC-based sensitivity comparisons.

Key findings

  • The EPOS poster reports a final cohort of 1,119 eligible patients.
  • The poster concludes that AI assistance increased screening sensitivity.
  • The study focuses on dense breast tissue, a known challenge for mammographic screening.
