Clin Breast Cancer. Published online March 26, 2025). The study analyzed 104 real-world breast biopsies, including invasive and microinvasive carcinomas, ductal carcinoma in situ, atypical lobular hyperplasia, and other benign lesions. Three breast pathologists independently reviewed each case digitally, with and without the support of Ibex Breast. Results demonstrated that when using AI, diagnostic accuracy improved from 97.1 percent to 100 percent, with previously missed precancerous lesions, such as lobular neoplasia and microcalcifications, correctly identified.
