Abstract

Mammography is the primary imaging modality for breast cancer detection; however, a high level of expertise is needed for its interpretation. To overcome this difficulty, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for breast cancer detection have recently been investigated. In this review, we describe the characteristics of AI algorithms compared to conventional computer-aided diagnosis software and share our thoughts on the best methods to develop and validate the algorithms. Additionally, several AI algorithms have introduced for triaging screening mammograms, breast density assessment, and prediction of breast cancer risk have been introduced. Finally, we emphasize the need for interest and guidance from radiologists regarding AI research in mammography, considering the possibility that AI will be introduced shortly into clinical practice.

유방촬영술은 유방암 검진 및 진단을 위한 기본적인 영상 검사이지만, 판독이 어려우며 높은 숙련도를 필요로 한다고 잘 알려져 있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위해 최근 몇 년 사이에 인공지능을 이용한 유방암 검출 알고리즘들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 종설에서 저자는 고전적인 computer-aided detection 소프트웨어 대비 최근 많이 사용되는 딥러닝의 특징을 알아보고, 딥러닝 알고리즘의 개발 방법과 임상적 검증 방법에 대해서 기술하였다. 또한 딥러닝 기반의 검진 유방촬영술의 판독 방법 분류, 유방 치밀도 평가, 그리고 유방암 위험도 예측 모델 등을 위한 딥러닝 연구들도 소개하였다. 마지막으로 유방촬영술 관련 인공지능 기술들에 대한 영상의학과 전문의의 관심과 의견의 필요성을 기술하였다.
