New AI tool predicts breast cancer risk using repeated 3D mammograms

AI-assisted imaging tool for breast cancer could tailor screening for women according to individual risk

An artificial intelligence model that analyzes women's past and recent annual 3D mammograms is more effective at predicting the five-year risk of developing breast cancer than a tool that uses only the most recent 3D mammogram, as well as an AI model that analyzes 2D mammograms, a new study shows.

NYU Study: AI Model Using Longitudinal 3D Mammography Outperforms Standard Risk Tools for 5-Year Breast Cancer Prediction

An AI model trained on longitudinal digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) scans predicted 5-year breast cancer risk with an AUC of 0.721 — outperforming both 2D mammography AI and the Tyrer-Cuzick clinical model — and identified high-risk women within the "fatty breast" category that traditional density scoring would have missed.
