“…This disparity could be in part related to Native American people predominantly residing in rural areas and on reservations, which are known for insufficient health care infrastructure, including availability of mammography 22 . The Indian Health Services, a major health care provider in many rural regions and reservations, is also chronically underfunded 23 and limited in expanding cancer screening services, including mobile units, which contribute to mammography screening prevalence in Native American women 24 . The accessibility to digital mammography was also lower among non‐Hispanic White women compared with other racial/ethnic groups, except the Native American population.…”

Background: Examining temporal and spatial diffusion of a new technology, such as digital mammography, can provide important insights into potential disparities associated with access to new medical technologies and how quickly these technologies are adopted. Although digital mammography is currently a standard technology in the United States for breast cancer screening, its adoption and geographic diffusion, as medical facilities transitioned from film to digital units, has not been explored well. Methods: This study evaluated the geographic diffusion of digital mammography facilities from 2001 to 2014 in the contiguous United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and estimated the geographic accessibility to this new technology for women aged ≥45 years at the census tract level within a 20-minute drivetime by population density, rural/urban residence, and race/ethnicity. The number of mammography units by technology type (film or digital) and density per 10,000women were also summarized. Results:The adoption of digital mammography advanced first in densely populated regions and last in remote rural areas. Overall, proportion of digital mammography units increased from 1.4% in 2001 to 94.6% in 2014, but since 2008, there was a decline in density of units from 2.31 per 10,000 women aged ≥45 years to 1.97 in 2014. In 2014, approximately 87% of women aged ≥45 years in the contiguous United States had accessibility to digital mammography, but this proportion was substantially lower for Native American women (67%) and rural residents (32%). Conclusion:Understanding the diffusion of and accessibility to digital mammography may help predict future medical technology diffusion and assess its role in geographic differences in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

“…Recommendations from healthcare providers (physicians, physician assistants, and nurses) will increase breast cancer screening participation rates. 13,32 Women who are satisfied with their healthcare providers often have a relatively pleasant medical experience, have a higher degree of trust in healthcare providers, 22 and may be more likely to accept recommendations regarding breast cancer screening practices. The results of this study highlight a new point of view; that is, women's satisfaction with healthcare providers and past medical experience will affect their breast cancer screening practices.…”

Background:The Chinese government has proposed cancer screening guidelines and launched 2 cancer screening programs to improve screening practices. However, the screening participation rates of Chinese women remain low. Exploring the factors affecting breast cancer screening to promote cancer screening is necessary. Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate women's satisfaction with healthcare providers and screening practices. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 2019 to April 2020 in Changchun, Jilin Province, China. The Medical Care Satisfaction Scale and SERVQUAL were used to quantify women's satisfaction with doctors and nurses, respectively. Results: Women's satisfaction with doctors (68. 81 ± 11.08; range, 20-100) and with nurses (87.64 ± 16.17; range, 22-110) was moderate. Compared with women who had not participated in screening within the past 2 years, screened women reported higher satisfaction with doctors (P = .026) and nurses (P = .012). Older age (P = .004) was an independent predictor of women's satisfaction with doctors. Similarly, women's education level (P = .049), chronic disease history (P = .029), and physical examination history (P = .039) were 3 independent predictors of women's satisfaction with nurses. Conclusions: Future intervention strategies can not only increase the screening rates by providing existing intervention methods but also

“…The future implications of AI-assisted mammography extend beyond technological advancements. The global impact of AI integration requires careful consideration of healthcare disparities, resource availability, and cultural nuances across different regions [56,57]. While developed healthcare systems might readily embrace AI, developing regions may face challenges in terms of infrastructure, data availability, and AI adoption.…”

<p>This narrative review delves into the diagnostic test accuracy of AI-assisted mammography for breast imaging, examining its potential, challenges, and future implications. AI's integration into medical imaging has promised to revolutionize breast cancer diagnosis, prompting an evaluation of its performance and impact. A comprehensive literature search was conducted, resulting in the identification of key articles. These studies encompassed diverse AI techniques, training datasets, and geographical contexts. The review synthesizes findings on sensitivity, specificity, interpretability, ethical considerations, and global implications. The studies collectively demonstrate AI's potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, with deep learning algorithms exhibiting commendable sensitivity and specificity levels. However, challenges arise in data diversity, algorithmic bias, and interpretability. Ethical and regulatory considerations underscore the need for responsible AI deployment. The concept of augmented intelligence, wherein AI collaborates with radiologists, holds promise for future clinical practice. AI-assisted mammography holds transformative potential in breast cancer diagnosis, accuracy and efficiency. While challenges exist, collaborative efforts between stakeholders are essential to navigate complexities and realize AI's benefits. The review concludes that while AI holds promise in breast cancer diagnosis, ethical, global, and research considerations are imperative for its responsible and effective deployment.</p>
