Example of a false-positive AI classification (IMAGE)

Example of a false-positive artificial intelligence (AI) classification. A 58-year-old woman presented for a screening digital breast tomosynthesis examination; its findings were interpreted as negative. Eight months later, the patient presented with a palpable area of concern in the left breast and was subsequently diagnosed with grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. At retrospective evaluation of the initial screening mammogram, the AI algorithm marked a lesion (white outline) in the contralateral (right) breast, with scores of 89 on the craniocaudal view and 45 on the mediolateral oblique view. This area of architectural distortion marked by the AI algorithm represents stable postsurgical changes. Of note, the AI vendor recommends caution with postsurgical cases.
