Diagnostic performance was assessed with and without AI assistance (Lunit INSIGHT MMG), using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Inter-reader agreement was measured using kappa statistics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><br \/>\nAI assistance significantly improved the diagnostic performance of all reader groups across all metrics (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The senior radiologist consistently achieved the highest sensitivity (86.5% without AI, 88.0% with AI) and specificity (60.5% without AI, 59.2% with AI). The junior radiologist demonstrated the highest PPV (56.9% without AI, 74.6% with AI) and NPV (90.3% without AI, 92.2% with AI). The trainees showed the lowest performance, but AI significantly enhanced their accuracy. AI assistance was particularly beneficial in interpreting mammograms of women with dense breasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>\nAI assistance significantly enhances the diagnostic accuracy and consistency of radiologists in mammogram interpretation, with notable benefits for less experienced readers. These findings support the integration of AI into clinical practice, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to specialized breast radiologists is constrained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0322925\"><strong>Read the full paper<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","publication-oncology":[],"publication-region":[87],"publication-type":[],"radiology":[97,99,96],"class_list":["post-1495","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","publication-region-asia","radiology-breast","radiology-earlier-detection-including-interval-cancers","radiology-lunit-insight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
