Central breast imaging data and statistics hub
Biostatistics and Data Management Core
This project organizes and links breast imaging records, screening results, and AI readings from millions of women to help improve screening and follow-up care.

What this research studies
The project combines breast imaging and outcome records from dozens of clinics into a single managed resource. It links those records to social and facility-level measures and to AI algorithm scores so researchers can spot patterns that affect detection and outcomes. A central statistical and data-management team standardizes the data, performs analyses, and securely shares high-quality datasets with approved research projects. The resource includes data on about 2.9 million women, including roughly 81,000 breast cancer survivors, collected across hundreds of imaging facilities.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Women who receive screening or surveillance mammograms at participating breast imaging facilities, including breast cancer survivors, are the ones whose records would be included.
Not a fit: People who do not have mammograms, live outside participating facilities, or are not represented in the linked data may not see direct benefits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could improve screening accuracy, personalize follow-up for women, and speed development of better AI tools for breast cancer detection.
How similar studies have performed: Previous large registries like the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium have successfully supported improved screening recommendations and AI validation, so this builds on proven infrastructure.
