    Breast cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women, with early detection through mammography improving outcomes.

  • 2

    AI models have shown promise in enhancing breast cancer risk prediction by analyzing subtle imaging features in mammograms.

  • 3

    This study evaluated the correlation between AI-generated risk scores from prior mammograms and biopsy-confirmed breast cancer outcomes.

  • 4

    AI risk scores were derived using ProFound AI® Risk software, which quantifies short-term breast cancer risk based on mammographic features.

  • 5

    Understanding the relationship between AI risk assessments and clinical-pathologic features is essential for improving trust in AI models.
