Background

Accurate visual categorization of small enhancing lesions on contrast-enhanced breast MRI remains challenging.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning (deep learning) model for detecting small (≤2 cm) invasive breast cancers using multi-institutional breast MRI data.

Methods

This retrospective study included a total of 1721 women (mean age: 54 years; range, 21-87 years) with T1-stage invasive breast cancer across five hospitals.

n = 1721 women

Results

AI assistance made radiologists more accurate, fewer false alarms on tiny cancers

“

Conclusion

The deep learning model demonstrated potential as an assistive tool by improving radiologists' precision for detecting small invasive breast cancers on contrast-enhanced breast MRI in this enriched reader-study setting, although it did not significantly improve their sensitivity.
