Lunit AI Breast Cancer Screening Technology Expands Access Worldwide

South Korean medical AI company Lunit has announced major advancements in its Lunit AI breast cancer screening technology, with real-world results showing a clear impact on detection rates and efficiency. The latest update is designed to make screenings more accurate and accessible worldwide, particularly in areas with limited medical resources.

In a large-scale South Korean study, Lunit AI breast cancer screening helped radiologists detect 13.8% more cancers—boosting the screening rate from 5.01 to 5.70 per 1,000—without increasing recall rates. It also reduced radiologist reading time by 36%, improving both speed and accuracy.

Partnerships for Global Impact

Lunit has partnered with hospitals and research centers in over 40 countries. In the UAE, it recently signed a multi-year contract with SEHA, the nation’s largest healthcare network, to integrate Lunit AI breast cancer screening into 14 hospitals and 70+ clinics. This large-scale deployment aims to provide timely screenings for millions of women who currently lack access.

At ECR 2025, Lunit presented 15 scientific studies—13 as oral presentations—demonstrating its AI’s ability to detect cancer years earlier than standard methods and even replace a radiologist in double-reading scenarios.

Why Lunit AI Breast Cancer Screening Matters

In many regions, the shortage of trained radiologists leads to delays in diagnosis. Lunit AI breast cancer screening addresses this challenge by delivering consistent, quick assessments for both advanced hospitals and mobile screening units. Early detection greatly improves survival rates, making this technology especially critical.

The company also ensures its AI is trained on diverse datasets, improving accuracy across different populations and reducing the risk of bias.
