Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The sensitivity of mammographic screening is lower for women with mammographically dense vs fatty breasts. We aimed to explore automated mammographic breast density and malignancy risk scores generated by an artificial intelligence (AI) model for breast cancer detection, stratified by mammography vendor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included information from 200,000…
