Early detection of breast cancer allows for a successful treatment, which in turn can save lives. At Kings College Hospital London Dubai, we integrate Lunit AI solutions to support and enhance the accuracy of diagnostics in mammography. The AI leverages deep learning algorithms to analyse mammograms with high precision, which can increase detection rates and reduce false positives and negatives.
Breast Screening Techniques
Other than a physical self-breast exam which is recommended on a regular basis, other common breast screening techniques include a mammography and ultrasound.
AI Mammogram Screening
Mammography is one of the most commonly used techniques of breast cancer screening. During a mammogram, the doctor takes images of the breasts using x-ray in order to detect any abnormalities even before a tumour or breast lump can be physically felt or seen with the naked eye.
An AI mammogram is usually recommended based on certain factors and risks involved. For instance, it is recommended to be done once a year for women 40 years and above, who may not be at risk of breast cancer. As for women who are at a higher risk of breast cancer, the doctor would determine how often they can have a mammogram.
AI Mammogram results are either abnormal, which means some abnormality has been detected, which requires further diagnosis, or normal, which means nothing peculiar has been detected. However, abnormal results don’t mean that a woman has breast cancer.
At King’s, we use 3D Mammography (called tomosynthesis), an advanced X-ray technique to screen for early signs of breast cancer in asymptomatic women. Multiple images of the breast are taken which are combined by a computer into a 3-D image of the entire breast.
Breast Ultrasound
A breast ultrasound is a diagnostic test for breast cancer that uses sound waves to capture images of breast tissue. Unlike a mammogram, an ultrasound doesn’t use radiation, and it’s considered safe for women who want to avoid radiation-based imaging tests, for instance women who are pregnant.

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that’s typically used as a routine breast cancer screening tool, especially effective at detecting early signs of cancer in women over 40. A breast ultrasound, on the other hand, uses sound waves to create images and is often used to examine areas of concern found during a mammogram or physical exam. At King’s, both tests are available at our Mammogram Screening Centre, and your doctor will recommend the most appropriate option based on your individual needs.
