AI model predicts benign breast tumors to reduce unnecessary biopsies

Researchers have developed a multimodal AI system that combines image and text analysis to predict whether breast tumors are benign, aiming to reduce unnecessary biopsies. The system uses a Vision Transformer for image features and DeBERTa-V3-Large for text, with Grad-CAM providing visual explanations for its predictions. In testing on 1,632 patients, the multimodal approach achieved an AUC of 0.72, outperforming image-only and text-only models, and demonstrating potential to lower healthcare costs and patient anxiety. AI

IMPACT Could improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce healthcare costs by minimizing unnecessary medical procedures.

    Explainable Multimodal AI Approach to Reduce Unnecessary Breast Biopsies

    arXiv:2610.35704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recently, there has been rise in multimodal vision-language models for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), yet their application in breast diagnosis, particularly for predicting biopsy outcomes remains limited. This study presents a mul…
