The randomized trial, involving over 100,000 women in Sweden, demonstrates that integrating AI into the screening workflow is not only safe, but superior to traditional methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the published evidence, the use of AI led to a <strong>12% reduction in interval cancers<\/strong>\u2014that is, cancers that emerge between screening rounds because they were not initially detected\u2014while also achieving a <strong>44.3% reduction in radiologists\u2019 workload<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The algorithm acts as an intelligent filter: it accurately identifies negative cases, allowing physicians to focus their clinical expertise on more complex and uncertain diagnostic scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This model is no longer just a theoretical frontier, but a concrete response to the growing pressure on healthcare systems and the shortage of specialists. In Italy, where managing invitations within screening programs remains challenging, these findings support the recent updates to the National Institute of Health (ISS) guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health Triage\u2019s commitment in Italy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within this evolving landscape, Health Triage is working to translate international research findings into operational solutions for the Italian National Health Service. Through its medical device <strong>BreastNegative<\/strong> (MDR Class IIb certified), a new prospective multicenter clinical study involving 75,000 women is about to begin in collaboration with GISMa (Italian Mammography Screening Group).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is designed to rapidly identify negative exams\u2014which represent the vast majority of screenings\u2014thereby optimizing the entire reporting workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs clearly shown by the MASAI trial results published in <em>The Lancet<\/em>, AI proves to be a key ally for radiologists, not a replacement,\u201d explains Davide Dettori CEO of Health Triage.<br>\u201cOur goal is to provide tools capable of quantifying diagnostic uncertainty, freeing up valuable clinical time and enabling specialists to focus on cases that require deeper analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partnerships and Innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, AI in medical imaging is expected to grow structurally. Health Triage, supported by Petrone Group and Fondazione ENEA Tech e Biomedical, is ready to translate these scientific findings into scalable, real-world solutions for public healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prevention thus becomes more timely and precise, thanks to a technology designed to support both physicians and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Informational note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BreastNegative is an MDR Class IIb certified medical device.
