Abstract

A shortage of radiologists is increasingly putting UK breast cancer screening under strain,1 and with more breast radiologists retiring than new radiologists being appointed/trained,2 this burden is set to increase. One possible partial solution is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast screening mammogram interpretation to meet this future need. Various groups have demonstrated the potential use of AI in retrospective studies although few have demonstrated its utility, in situ, in large prospective randomised control trials,3–5 the conventional way of demonstrating clinical and operational utility.
