SwedenHealthcare and life sciences2023 – ongoingCapio S:t Göran Hospital
AI as an independent breast-screening reader
Capio S:t Göran replaced 1 breast-screening reader with AI and cut reading time by over 36%, Lunit reported
Problem
Breast screening required 2 human readers, placing pressure on radiologist capacity.
Approach
The hospital integrated Lunit INSIGHT MMG into routine screening in mid-2023. AI replaced 1 of the 2 human readers. A follow-up analysis compared July 2018–March 2019 with July 2023–March 2024.
Results
Takeaway
The hospital changed the reading workflow rather than adding another review. The comparison used different historical periods and did not isolate AI's causal effect.
