Purpose: To investigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) reading digital mammograms in increasing the chance of detecting missed breast cancer, by studying the AI- flagged early morphology indictors, overlooked by the radiologist, and correlating them with the missed cancer pathology types.

Methods And Materials: Mammograms done in 2020-2023, presenting breast carcinomas (n = 1998), were analyzed in concordance with the prior one year's result (2019-2022) assumed negative or benign. Present mammograms reviewed for the descriptors: asymmetry, distortion, mass, and microcalcifications.

Mammography images are widely used to detect non-palpable breast lesions or nodules, aiding in cancer prevention and enabling timely intervention when necessary. To support medical analysis, computer-aided detection systems can automate the segmentation of landmark structures, which is helpful in locating abnormalities and evaluating image acquisition adequacy. This paper presents a deep learning-based framework for segmenting the nipple, the pectoral muscle, the fibroglandular tissue, and the fatty tissue in standard-view mammography images.

Understanding BI-RADS Category 3.

Radiographics

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology, Division of Breast Imaging, UC San Diego Health, Koman Family Outpatient Pavilion, 9400 Campus Point Dr, #7316, La Jolla, CA 92037 (S.F., J.S., R.R.P., H.O.F.); and Department of Breast Imaging, Division of Diagnostic Radiology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Tex (M.S.G., B.A.).

Article Synopsis
  • The BI-RADS category 3 assessment indicates findings that are "probably benign," with a less than 2% chance of being cancerous, helping to reduce unnecessary breast biopsies.
  • Despite its established guidelines for mammography, breast ultrasound, and emerging MRI uses, there is still confusion and misuse surrounding this category.
  • Category 3 findings should be followed up with short-term imaging to monitor for changes, and it is not appropriate to use in screening studies without further diagnostic evaluations.

Magnetic seed localization is a novel and reliable technique for perioperative localization of non-palpable breast cancers. However, due to susceptibility artifacts, magnetic seeds cannot be during response monitoring of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with MRI. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) could provide an alternative modality for response monitoring while magnetic seeds are .
