AI systems could interpret mammograms, and doctors would not need to sign results.

This bill would let AI systems interpret mammogram results. Right now, only doctors can interpret these results and must sign them. If this bill becomes law, doctors would no longer need to sign mammogram reports.

What Would Change

Today, the law requires a physician to interpret mammography results and sign the report. If this bill becomes law, a physician or a machine-learning/artificial intelligence system could interpret the results, and the requirement for a physician's signature on the report would be removed.

Key Provisions

Allows mammography facilities to use machine-learning or artificial intelligence systems to interpret mammogram results.
Removes the rule that an interpreting physician must sign mammography results.
