A Swedish trial found AI-supported breast screening reduced later cancer diagnoses by 12% and improved early detection.
The study followed 100,000 women and compared AI-assisted mammography with standard double readings by radiologists.
Researchers published the results in The Lancet.
AI flagged high-risk scans for double review and assigned low-risk cases to a single radiologist.
Early-stage cancers accounted for 81% of detections with AI, compared with 74% under standard screening.
Aggressive cancer subtypes appeared 27% less often in the AI group.
Lead author Kristina Lång of Lund University said AI could ease radiologist workloads.
Experts stressed AI should support, not replace, trained clinicians.
