Summary
Artificial intelligence is transforming mammography by significantly enhancing detection rates and improving early breast cancer diagnosis at Sutter Health, a California not-for-profit. By adopting Ferrum Health's AI platform across more than 60 imaging sites, Sutter Health has increased breast cancer detection from 4.8 to over 6.0 per 1,000 screenings and reduced false positives. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, AI analysis helped identify 14% of women as high-risk, particularly benefiting patients with dense breast tissue. This advancement not only streamlines the diagnostic process for radiologists but also underscores the potential of AI technology in improving patient outcomes in breast cancer screening.
