Using artificial intelligence to improve breast cancer screening in Norway
Official title: Artificial Intelligence in BreastScreen Norway - a Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Norwegian Institute of Public Health · NCT06032390 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if using artificial intelligence to help read mammograms can find breast cancer just as well as the usual method done by radiologists.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women participating in the BreastScreen Norway mammography program who provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not provide informed consent or are not part of the BreastScreen Norway program will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare breast cancer detection rates among women whose mammograms are interpreted using artificial intelligence (AI) alongside one or two radiologists versus those interpreted through standard double reading. The study addresses the challenges of missed cancers in traditional screening methods and the shortage of breast radiologists. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the AI-assisted interpretation group or the control group, with all examinations analyzed by AI to determine the risk of malignancy. The goal is to demonstrate that AI-assisted interpretation is at least as effective as the standard procedure.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance breast cancer detection rates and streamline the screening process.
How similar studies have gone: Retrospective studies have shown promising results for AI in mammography, but this is a prospective trial that will provide new insights.
