Eric Topol published an article and wrote to The Lancet arguing that, based on solid evidence, all mammograms should include three AI algorithms, free to patients: (1) better breast cancer detection, (2) predicting 5-year cancer risk even after a "normal" mammogram, and (3) heart disease risk—calling this a big missed opportunity, with the article focusing on the future-risk evidence.
