Model
Architecture
Deep learning convolutional neural network–based model; each mammogram view encoded into a 512-dimensional vector and four views concatenated into a 2048-dimensional representation (Mirai).
Availability
Publicly available Mirai model with pretrained weights was used; validation code available by request at https://github.com/olopade-lab/mirai_validation
Clinical benefit
Predicts 1- to 5-year breast cancer risk from screening mammograms to support risk stratification and potential screening/management decisions.
Clinical workflow phase
Clinical decision support systems; risk stratification for screening and follow-up planning.
Decision threshold
No fixed clinical threshold established; examples used include BI-RADS category 3 as cutoff (year-1 comparison) and the 75th percentile of Mirai risk scores (year-5 sensitivity/specificity illustration).
Degree of automation
Automates generation of risk scores from standard screening mammography; supports, but does not replace, clinical decision-making.
Indications for use
Prediction of near- and long-term (1–5 year) breast cancer risk in women undergoing screening mammography; evaluated in a high-risk, racially diverse cohort.
Input
Four standard screening mammographic views (bilateral CC and MLO) in DICOM For Presentation mode, plus time-to-event labels for evaluation.
Instructions
Provide all four standard views without implants, foreign devices, or burned-in annotations; ensure adequate follow-up for outcome labeling in evaluation settings.
Limitations
External performance lower for dense breasts in near-term prediction (not statistically significant); tested in a high-risk case-control cohort enriched for African American women, benign breast disease, and BRCA mutation carriers; calibration not assessed; potential dependence on ipsilateral premalignant patterns indicated by mirroring experiments; sample size limited for some subgroups; BI-RADS subcategory granularity unavailable.
Output
CDEs: RDE961, RDE857, RDE966, RDE965, RDE855
Description: Examination-level risk scores estimating 1- to 5-year risk of developing breast cancer.
Recommendation
Consider combining Mirai risk scores with BI-RADS assessment to potentially improve near-term discrimination; further validation and calibration in larger prospective cohorts recommended.
Reproducibility
Study code for applying models is available by request (GitHub link provided); publicly available Mirai pretrained weights used; detailed AUC and subgroup analyses reported with CIs and statistical tests.
