An Australian AI tool, BRAIx, predicts breast cancer risk four years in advance using mammograms, outperforming traditional methods and enabling earlier, personalized screening.
An AI tool called BRAIx, developed by Australian researchers, can predict a woman’s risk of breast cancer within four years using mammogram data from nearly 400,000 women, outperforming traditional risk factors like family history and breast density.
The tool identifies high-risk individuals—such as those in the top 2% with nearly a 10% chance of developing cancer despite normal scans—potentially enabling personalized screening, reducing unnecessary tests for low-risk women, and catching cancers earlier.
Validated on data from Australia and Sweden, BRAIx detects subtle patterns invisible to human radiologists and may help target additional screenings like MRI for those at highest risk.
Researchers say it could transform early detection and reduce breast cancer deaths, with potential rollout within five years.
