Shruti Kumar, MD discusses an AJR study that compares the performance of mammography alone, standalone artificial intelligence (AI), ultrasound alone, and a combination of these methods in a sample of 1,325 women. The study suggests that adding AI to mammography and ultrasound does not provide significant benefit in cancer detection rates in patients with dense breasts. However, the study's limitations, including single-institution data and specific AI platform, must be considered before generalizing the results.
