融合2D与3D乳腺影像的AI系统,显著降低误诊召回率。
A Multi-Modal AI System for Screening Mammography: Integrating 2D and 3D Imaging to Improve Breast Cancer Detection in a Prospective Clinical Study
- 整合FFDM、合成影像与DBT多模态数据进行诊断
- 减少31.7%召回率,保持100%检出率,降低43.8%工作量
- 适用于临床部署,尤其适合需提升筛查效率的机构
尽管数字乳腺断层扫描(DBT)在诊断性能上优于全视野数字乳腺摄影(FFDM),但假阳性召回仍是乳腺癌筛查中的主要问题。我们开发了一种多模态人工智能系统,融合FFDM、合成乳腺影像和DBT,提供乳腺级预测及可疑病灶的边界框定位。该AI系统基于约50万例乳腺摄影检查训练,在内部测试集上达到0.945 AUROC。前瞻性临床研究显示,其可减少31.7%的召回率,降低43.8%的放射科医生工作量,同时保持100%敏感性,凸显其优化临床流程的潜力。外部验证表明,系统泛化能力强,相较于强基线模型,将接近完美AUROC的差距缩小了35.31%至69.14%。在18个中心的前瞻性部署中,系统有效降低了低风险病例的召回率。改进版本在超过75万例带标签数据上训练,进一步将外部大样本数据集上的差距缩小18.86%至56.62%。结果表明,充分利用所有可用影像模态具有重要意义,且随着训练集扩大,大型神经网络有望进一步降低测试误差。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Although digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) improves diagnostic performance over full-field digital mammography (FFDM), false-positive recalls remain a concern in breast cancer screening. We developed a multi-modal artificial intelligence system integrating FFDM, synthetic mammography, and DBT to provide breast-level predictions and bounding-box localizations of suspicious findings. Our AI system, trained on approximately 500,000 mammography exams, achieved 0.945 AUROC on an internal test set. It demonstrated capacity to reduce recalls by 31.7% and radiologist workload by 43.8% while maintaining 100% sensitivity, underscoring its potential to improve clinical workflows. External validation confirmed strong generalizability, reducing the gap to a perfect AUROC by 35.31%-69.14% relative to strong baselines. In prospective deployment across 18 sites, the system reduced recall rates for low-risk cases. An improved version, trained on over 750,000 exams with additional labels, further reduced the gap by 18.86%-56.62% across large external datasets. Overall, these results underscore the importance of utilizing all available imaging modalities, demonstrate the potential for clinical impact, and indicate feasibility of further reduction of the test error with increased training set when using large-capacity neural networks.
