AI-Powered MRI could spot breast cancer earlier in High-Risk women
NCT ID NCT07121972
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called Mirai to guide MRI screening can help find breast cancers earlier. Researchers will enroll 400 women aged 40-89 who are at high risk according to the AI model. Participants will receive a supplemental MRI scan, and the team will track how many cancers are detected within one year. The goal is to see if AI can better identify who needs extra screening beyond standard mammography.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI can more accurately identify women who would benefit from MRI screening, potentially catching breast cancers earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm study without a comparison group, so it cannot prove AI-guided screening is better than standard care. The AI model may not perform as well in real-world settings.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. All asymptomatic participants assigned female at birth, ages 40-89 years old with screening mammography assessed as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 1, BI-RADS 2, or initial BI-RADS 0 with subsequent diagnostic mammogram assessed as BI-RADS 1 or BI-RADS 2. 2. Screening mammogram assessed as high-risk by Mirai (top 3 percentile of 2-year risk). 3. Availability of a routine screening mammogram report, along with a subsequent diagnostic mammogram report if applicable, and access to the corresponding Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images. 4. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Screening mammogram that is assessed as BI-RADS 0 for technical recall. 2. Contraindications for MRI: 1. Metallic foreign body in the eye. 2. MRI unsafe implants and/or medical devices. 3. Adverse reaction to a (gadolinium-based) contrast agent in the past. 4. Pregnant women. 5. Claustrophobia. 6. Exceeds site specific size and/or weight limit for MRI. 3. If the participant meets site-specific criteria for screening estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) prior to MRI, participants with severely impaired renal function (GFR \< 30 mL/min) will be excluded. According to University of California, San Francisco's policy for MRI with contrast (gadolinium-containing), serum creatinine with calculation of eGFR should be obtained within 6 weeks of the MRI study for participants with any of the following risk factors: 1. History of "kidney disease" as an adult, including renal tumor or transplant. 2. Diabetes treated with insulin or other prescribed medications. 3. Hypertension (high blood pressure) requiring medication. 4. Multiple myeloma. 5. Solid organ transplant. 6. History of severe hepatic disease/liver transplant/pending liver transplant.
