Computer-aided detection (CAD) software developer iCAD has received a CE Mark in Europe for its customized artificial intelligence (AI) breast cancer risk estimation tool. The product was unveiled on the opening day of ECR 2020 Online, which runs from 15 to 19 July.
ProFound AI Risk is the first clinical support tool that provides an accurate two-year breast cancer risk estimation based on a screening mammogram, according to the vendor. It uses a range of risk factors, including age, breast density, and subtle mammographic features to assess short-term risk for breast cancer.
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=100&q=70&w=100)
