An Australian study has developed an AI tool named BRAIx that can predict a woman's risk of developing breast cancer over the next four years with greater accuracy than traditional methods.

• The tool, trained on mammograms from nearly 400,000 women, identified women at high risk who were previously given a clear diagnosis.
• The research was published in The Lancet Digital Health.
• This AI-based risk scoring could enable personalized breast screening, focusing closer monitoring on high-risk individuals and reducing checks for low-risk women.
