Multi-modal artificial intelligence for the combination of automated 3D breast ultrasound and mammograms in a population of women with predominantly dense breasts

Abstract

Key points 1. Combining AI systems from different modalities may increase the overall performance. 2. Combined AI outperforms readers from single modalities for breast cancer detection. 3. Combined AI can be an alternative to radiologists in breast imaging reading.
