A major Swedish trial found that using AI in breast cancer screening reduced later cancer diagnoses by 12%.
The study followed 100,000 women undergoing routine mammography between 2021 and 2022.
Women receiving AI-supported screening had higher rates of early cancer detection.
The AI system helped radiologists prioritise high-risk cases and flag suspicious findings.
Researchers reported fewer aggressive cancers in the AI group.
The results were published in The Lancet and mark the largest trial of its kind.
Experts said AI could ease radiologist workloads but should not replace human readers.
