What is EBCD?

The Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection program leverages artificial intelligence (AI) technology and a rigorous clinical review process to enhance areas of concern in screening mammography. A board-certified radiologist is responsible for each step in the screening process. The radiologist reports the final results of the patient’s exam.

EBCD is like having multiple sets of eyes on the mammogram: the initial radiologist, the FDA-cleared AI, and an additional breast-specialty radiologist. EBCD delivers an added level of confidence in the results of the exam.

This protocol has been shown to find 17% more cancers, and it can also help lower recall rates.

What do the experts say?

EBCD’s AI technology helps the radiologist to detect areas of suspicion that may not be immediately visible to the naked eye. The radiologist factors that information into the interpretation of the exam. EBCD does not replace the radiologist.

“The closest we can come to a cure is early detection. EBCD delivers that extra layer of scrutiny, which is very beneficial for those at risk of more aggressive cancers."
