Description
Marit A Martiniussen and seven co-authors review mammograms that artificial intelligence tools scored as high risk, in this 2026 study of the Norwegian screening program. Two AI models graded over 130,000 screening images from more than 42,000 women. The team wanted to know what the models were reacting to when they raised a flag.
Expert readers rechecked two samples: flagged images from women who stayed cancer free for six years, and flagged images that held screen detected cancers. In the cancer free sample, calcium specks alone were the most common flagged feature, and readers had judged most of them harmless. In the cancer sample, spiky masses led. Knowing what drives high scores could help set better thresholds and cut needless recalls.
