Plain-English Summary

The proposal would update federal quality and safety standards for mammography facilities to account for the use of artificial intelligence systems in breast cancer screening. This would ensure that AI tools used to analyze mammograms meet the same rigorous standards as traditional screening methods, protecting patients by requiring facilities to validate that these new technologies are accurate and reliable. The changes would affect hospitals, imaging centers, and other facilities that perform mammograms, as well as the companies developing AI screening tools.
