Integrated AI-CAD in Breast Ultrasound Reduces Scan Time, Boosts Sensitivity Over Sequential System

Integrated AI-CAD reduced exam time (P<.001) and had higher sensitivity (87.6% vs 76.9%) but lower specificity (74.2% vs 90.0%) than sequential AI-CAD in 242 patients. AUC was similar.

• Sequential AI-CAD required longer examination time than integrated AI-CAD (P < .001), regardless of scan order.
• Both systems showed almost perfect agreement (κ = 0.81 integrated vs. 0.83 sequential), but agreement patterns differed by lesion type in other scan-plane comparisons.
• Integrated AI-CAD showed higher sensitivity (87.6% vs. 76.9%; P < .001) while sequential AI-CAD had higher specificity (74.2% vs. 90.0%; P < .001); AUC did not differ.
