AI Summary

Researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center created a deep‑learning tool named NYU‑DRP that analyzes a woman’s 3D mammograms taken over multiple years, known as longitudinal digital breast tomosynthesis (longitudinal DBT). The study found that NYU‑DRP predicts a woman’s five‑year breast‑cancer risk more accurately than a model that uses only the most recent 3D mammogram or an AI model that analyzes 2D mammograms. The improved predictive power comes from incorporating the full history of a patient’s 3D imaging data.
