IMA-L2: Diagnostic Performance of Breast Cancer Screening Second Reading Process Assisted by AI
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare, for the second reading of screening mammograms, the standard of care with an AI assisted scenario.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
-
will the experimental pathway be non-inferior to the standard pathway?
-
will the experimental pathway be economically superior to the standard pathway?
Participants will receive screening mammograms, as part of the breast cancer screening program. Researchers will compare the interpretation made by the second reader in the standard pathway with the AI assisted interpretation made by a different reader in the experimental pathway.

Detailed Description
All mammograms eligible for a second reading, and included in the study, go through 2 arms:
-
Conventional second reading by a radiologist accredited to do second reading in France (L2 control arm),
-
Second reading assisted by the AI (L2-AI experimental arm): mammograms will be read by the AI first and only if deemed suspicious, a radiologist accredited to do second reading in France will review them.
The most pejorative assessment among the two arms is used as the final decision: if both arms consider the mammogram as negative, the participant won't be recalled, if one arm consider the mammogram as positive, the participant will be called back for further examinations.
Clinical performances and economical impacts of both scenarii will be compared.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| No Intervention: L2 - Standard second read Interpretation of mammograms done by a radiologist accredited to do second reading in France. |
|
| Experimental: L2-AI - AI-assisted second read Interpretation of mammograms done by the AI-based device. Mammograms deemed suspicious by the AI (i.e., receiving an AI global score higher than a defined threshold) will be interpreted by a radiologist accredited to do second reading in France. Mammograms assessed as negative or low suspicious by the AI won't be further interpreted by a radiologist. |
Device: MammoScreen

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Recall rate [End of the inclusion period 24 months]
Number of patients that are called back for further examinations divided by the total number of patient receiving a second reading.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cancer detection rate [End of the inclusion period 24 months]
Number of biopsy proven cancers divided by the total number of patient receiving a second reading
- Sensitivity and Specificity [End of the follow_up period 48 months]
True and false-positive rate
- Economic impact [End of the follow_up period 48 months]
Difference in direct medical costs between the two arms Difference in annual budgetary impact on the French National Health Insurance between the two arms
- Time-to-results [End of the inclusion period 24 months]
Time period [in days] between the day of the screening and the access to results
- Reading time [End of the inclusion period 24 months]
Time needed [in seconds] to interpret a mammogram
