One AI, one radiologist: How a Swedish hospital beat breast screening backlogs

When radiologists at Stockholm's Capio Sankt Görans Hospital began working evenings and weekends to clear mounting backlogs, it became clear that something had to change. The solution? Replacing one of the two radiologists traditionally assigned to read breast cancer screenings with artificial intelligence (AI). The results: fewer false positives, more cancers detected, and radiologists finally freed from after-hours work. At the EUSOBI meeting, Dr Karin Dembrower detailed the transition in her department.
