Researchers have developed a new framework to identify recurring mammographic phenotypes within deep learning models used for breast cancer risk prediction. By clustering image embeddings from a pre-trained model named Mirai, they isolated specific patterns, such as dense tissue and microcalcifications, that are associated with increased cancer risk. This approach also revealed potential confounding factors in the models, like artifacts from imaging equipment, and demonstrated a strong correlation with patient age and breast density. AI
