"We have a significant backlog-in fact, we're booking screenings into January and February of 2022 right now. "We are now busier than ever, as many patients who didn't get screened during the pandemic are coming back," said Dr. "We are at least 10% above our pre-pandemic levels at this time, which has led to feelings of burnout by many of our radiologists, but ProFound AI has been a reliable backup for our team, as it helps to ensure we're performing at an optimum level and calling back only those patients who need additional imaging." "We saw our volume of mammography screenings decrease significantly during the pandemic however, since this past spring, our volume has skyrocketed," said Dr. In a reader study published in Radiology : Artificial Intelligence, ProFound AI for DBT was shown to offer clinically proven time-savings benefits to radiologists, reducing reading time by 52.7%, improving radiologist sensitivity by 8%, and reducing false positives and unnecessary patient recall rates by 7.2%.

The software is also available for 2D full-field digital mammography (FFDM). ProFound AI for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) became the first 3D tomosynthesis software using artificial intelligence (AI) to be FDA cleared in December 2018. ProFound AI is a high-performance, deep-learning, workflow solution trained to detect malignant soft tissue densities and calcifications.

We've really gotten to trust it, and I am confident that more of those subtle, obscured lesions will be picked up earlier because of this." "For example, I have seen this technology identify undetectable breast cancer cases one year earlier. "After a year of using it, I've come to an eye-opening realization: ProFound AI is looking at things that we clinicians don't necessarily recognize as signs of cancer," added Dr. ProFound AI helped us to read those cases quickly with the confidence that we were not missing cancers."

We paused our screening mammogram program per Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) recommendations during the beginning of the pandemic, but were quickly back to full plus volume by August 2020. "We are typically a very high-volume practice reading more than 50,000 screening mammograms per year, and the addition of a ‘second reader' via ProFound AI helped our radiologists absorb our increased workload. Just before that time, in mid-2019, we converted our practice to 100% tomosynthesis," said Dr. "We began the implementation of ProFound AI at the end of 2019 and completed the rollout in the middle of the pandemic, in mid-2020.

"Mammography dropped by as much as 92% in some areas at the height of the pandemic, creating a massive mammography backlog, 1 but as more Americans are becoming vaccinated, women have begun to return to imaging centers for cancer screening. "Clinicians are in need of new solutions to navigate today's challenges," said Stacey Stevens, President of iCAD.
