AI Model Combining Ultrasound and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Improves Specificity in Breast Cancer Triage
 A new artificial intelligence (AI) framework that combines ultrasound (US) with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) may improve breast-level risk classification by raising specificity while preserving sensitivity. In a retrospective study, researchers developed a parallel-branch deep learning model using paired US, digital mammography (DM), and DBT examinations and compared six single- and dual-modality configurations. The US-DBT model achieved the highest observed discrimination in both internal and pathology-confirmed validation cohorts. Its main added value was fewer false-positive classifications, supporting its potential use as an adjunctive tool for refining positive imaging findings, prioritizing further diagnostic evaluation, and reducing unnecessary work-up in breast cancer assessment. The findings suggest a practical route to more selective imaging triage.
