Purpose: To assess the effect of AI-assisted mammography interpretation on radiologist diagnostic accuracy and reading time.
Methods: 10 radiologists reviewed 400 digital mammograms (200 with AI support, 200 without). Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and mean interpretation time were compared.
Results: AI-assisted reading improved sensitivity from 86% to 94% and reduced reading time by 27%. Specificity remained stable (92%). The most significant gains were seen in detecting architectural distortions and subtle calcifications.
Conclusion: Collaborative AI integration into mammography reading workflows enhances detection performance and efficiency without compromising specificity.
Keywords: Mammography, artificial intelligence, breast cancer, diagnostic accuracy, workflow efficiency
