Detail of outcome

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are available that can be used to grade mammograms in the breast screening programme and can potentially reduce the workload of the breast screening programme. To understand the state of the current evidence base on this topic the UK NSC commissioned a rapid review in 2021. The review concluded that the evidence is currently insufficient in quality and quantity to recommend the use of AI for image classification in breast screening.
