研究目的
To compare breast cancer detection performance of radiologists reading mammographic examinations unaided versus supported by an artificial intelligence (AI) system.
研究成果
Radiologists improved their diagnostic performance in the detection of breast cancer at mammography by using an AI computer system for support without the need for additional reading time. However, studies within a screening scenario should be performed to validate them and seize the real effect of AI support in screening.
研究不足
The study was performed with a highly enriched data set with screening-detected cancers instead of using a prospective assessment in screening practice. Readers were aware of the high rate of malignancies in the case set, which may have resulted in a 'laboratory effect'. The study was performed with radiologists from the United States only, whereas screening practice and recall rates vary substantially around the world.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A retrospective, fully crossed, multireader, multicase study was performed to compare the performance of radiologists reading mammographic examinations with and without AI support.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Screening digital mammographic examinations from 240 women (100 showing cancers, 40 leading to false-positive recalls, 100 normal) performed between 2013 and 2017 were included.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The AI computer system used was Transpara (version
4:0, ScreenPoint Medical). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fourteen Mammography Quality Standards Act–qualified radiologists interpreted the examinations, once with and once without AI support.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), specificity and sensitivity, and reading time were compared between conditions by using mixed-models analysis of variance and generalized linear models for multiple repeated measurements.
