Real-World Data Shows AI-Based Breast Cancer Detection Tool Supports Better Diagnoses

Real-world data (RWD) presented at this year’s meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) shows that iCAD’s Profound AI (artificial intelligence) breast cancer detection tool helped radiologists make more accurate diagnoses. The study followed five breast cancer radiologists, finding that the tool increased breast cancer diagnoses without a rise in recalls.

According to Hector Diaz de Vellegas, D.O. of the University of Florida-Jacksonville, “ProFound AI acts as another pair of eyes that alerts our team to areas that may need further evaluation, while also helping us to avoid calling women back unnecessarily, which can cause a lot of stress for women.“By improving accuracy, ProFound AI may also improve screening effectiveness, which can ultimately offer peace of mind to both clinicians and patients alike”
