Standard and AI-modified workflow compared. Elimination of the workflow steps depicted in the gray box for patients prioritized by the AI is the primary mechanism driving the hypothesized reduction in diagnostic delays. Screening mammograms were assigned BIRADS category 1 (negative), 2 (benign) or 0 (incomplete—additional imaging needed) after radiologist review. After additional diagnostic imaging, a BIRADS category was assigned as 1 (negative), 2 (benign), 3 (probably benign), 4 (suspicious), 5 (highly suggestive of malignancy).
