Visualizing Future Breast Cancer Prognosis by Generative AI

Paper in proceeding, 2024

In Sweden, 30 percent of breast cancer cases are detected between screenings, leading to later staged cancer diagnoses. Aileen Health is preventing later staged cancers by making a breast cancer prognosis with generative AI. This study investigates how breast radiologists perceive AI-generated images and their usability as cancer prognosis. Through literature review and formative usability testing, the research study emphasizes the challenges when integrating AI-generated medical images into clinical decision-making. Furthermore, our findings stress the importance of avoiding cognitive overload and following mental models. Future research should focus on radiologists' use of breast cancer prognosis at various urgency levels, as well as AI accuracy of generated images.
