Single radiologist with AI support versus two radiologists for screening mammograms
Official title: Use of Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Screening: Impact of AI-Assisted Single Reading by One Radiologist on Screening Quality Indicators Compared to Standard Double Reading by Two Radiologists Without AI
Run by University Hospital Olomouc · NCT07075679 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will see if one radiologist aided by AI can match the performance of the usual two-radiologist reading for screening mammograms in women aged 45–69.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Asymptomatic women aged 45–69 who are attending the breast cancer screening program and have no clinical signs of breast disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Women with clinical breast symptoms or who require diagnostic mammography, and women outside the 45–69 age range, are not eligible and would not benefit from this screening comparison.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Asymptomatic women aged 45–69 in the regional breast cancer screening program are randomized by day to have mammograms read either with an AI-assisted first reader (iCAD version 3) followed by a standard second radiologist read, or by the standard independent double reading without AI. The AI arm records the AI-assisted first read before the mandatory human second read to maintain legal double-reading requirements. Randomization assigns specific days to AI or non-AI reading to balance weekday workflow and case mix. The trial compares diagnostic outcomes such as cancer detection rate, recall rate, false positives, and workflow metrics between the two approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could maintain cancer detection while reducing radiologist workload and speeding up screening workflows.
How similar studies have gone: Prior validation and pilot studies of AI in mammography have shown promising improvements in sensitivity and efficiency, but randomized comparisons of single-reader plus AI versus standard double reading are still limited.
