How Lunit AI Helps Catch Breast Cancer Earlier and Improves Patient Care
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making big changes in healthcare—and one of the most exciting areas is mammograms. One AI tool called Lunit INSIGHT MMG is now helping doctors find signs of breast cancer earlier, more accurately, and with more confidence.
What Is Lunit AI?
Lunit is a health technology company that uses AI to read medical images. Their tool for mammograms, called Lunit INSIGHT MMG, was trained using over 240,000 mammogram images from different countries. It’s cleared by the U.S. FDA and used in over 40 countries around the world.
How Does It Work?
When you get a mammogram, the image is read by a radiologist (a doctor who specializes in reading medical images).
Lunit AI acts like a second pair of eyes. It scans the mammogram and gives it a score from 0–100, showing areas that look suspicious. This helps the radiologist focus on places where there might be a problem and reduces the chance of missing anything important.
What Does That Mean for You?
Studies have shown that using Lunit AI with a radiologist can:
- Help doctors find 5–13% more cancers
- Reduce the chance of missing cancer
Why Early Detection Matters
The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances of successful treatment. According to the American Cancer Society, if breast cancer is caught early (before it spreads), the 5-year survival rate is about 99%.
By helping doctors catch cancer sooner, Lunit AI gives you:
- Fewer unnecessary callbacks for extra tests
- More peace of mind knowing your mammogram was reviewed by both a doctor and AI
- Better chances of early treatment if something is found
What Doctors Are Saying
- More accurate results
- Less stress for patients and staff
- Faster diagnosis and follow-up care
Is AI Replacing My Doctor?
No. Lunit AI doesn’t replace the radiologist—it supports them. Your mammogram is still reviewed by a trained medical professional. AI simply helps them make the best possible decision.
