Artificial intelligence (AI) improves the accuracy of mammography screening, but prospective evidence, particularly in a single-read setting, remains limited. This study compares the diagnostic accuracy of breast radiologists with and without AI-based computer-aided detection (AI-CAD) for screening mammograms in a real-world, single-read setting. A prospective multicenter cohort study is conducted within South Korea’s national breast cancer screening program for women. The primary outcomes are screen-detected breast cancer within one year, with a focus on cancer detection rates (CDRs) and recall rates (RRs) of radiologists. A total of 24,543 women are included in the final cohort, with 140 (0.57%) screen-detected breast cancers. The CDR is significantly higher by 13.8% for breast radiologists using AI-CAD (n = 140 [5.70‰]) compared to those without AI (n = 123 [5.01‰]; p < 0.001), with no significant difference in RRs (p = 0.564). These preliminary results show a significant improvement in CDRs without affecting RRs in a radiologist’s standard single-reading setting (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05024591). Artificial intelligence (AI) could improve mammography screening accuracy, but prospective evidence is still lacking. Here, the authors show in a prospective multicentre cohort study under single-read settings that the diagnostic accuracy of breast radiologists can significantly improve with AI-based computer-aided detection.

ABSTRACT Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an emerging endoscopic palliative adjunctive therapy used for the local treatment of unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). However, irregular ablation ranges caused by insufficient electrode-to-bile duct contact pose a significant obstacle.
