ScreenPoint Medical B.V. - Global Leader in AI-Powered Breast Cancer Detection

admin32026-04-21 13:34:00

📢 Key Milestones (2024–2026):
   In April 2026, ScreenPoINT Medical secured $16 million in new funding ($14M from existing investors Insight Partners and Siemens Healthineers, plus $2M in non-dilutive research grants) to fuel global expansion and personalized breast cancer care. In January 2026, the landmark MASAI randomized controlled trial final results were published in The Lancet, demonstrating that Transpara improves cancer detection by 29% while reducing radiologist workload by 44%. In June 2024, the FDA cleared Transpara 2.1.0 (K241831) with breakthrough capabilities including temporal comparison across up to 3 prior exams over 6 years and breast density assessment (BIRADS and volumetric).

Company Profile (Updated April 2026)

ScreenPoint Medical B.V. is a privately held artificial intelligence company headquartered in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Founded in 2014 as a spin-off from Radboud University Medical Center by Professor Nico Karssemeijer and Professor Sir Michael Brady, the company develops cutting-edge mACHine learning solutions to improve early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. ScreenPoint Medical translates advanced deep learning research into clinical tools accessible to radiologists, with the mission of reducing the global death toll from breast cancer through earlier detection.

The company's flagship product, Transpara® Breast AI, is the most clinically validated breast AI solution on the market, supported by over 50 peer-reviewed publications and multiple randomized controlled trials. Transpara is deployed in 30+ countries across hundreds of leADINg healthcare systems, screening programs, universities, and imaging groups, and has processed over 12 million mammograms to date.

Core Mission: To build AI-powered technology for every step of the breast imaging continuum, improving consistency, reducing uncertainty, enhancing patient experience, and translating opportunity into tangible outcomes for clinicians and women worldwide.

Core Product: Transpara® Breast AI

Transpara Detection

AI-Powered Lesion Detection: Deep learning algorithms automatically identify suspicious soft-tissue lesions (masses, architectural distortions, asymmetries) and calcifications in mammograms and tomosynthesis images

- Region Scores: Per-finding suspicion scores on a 1-100 scale

- Exam Score: Overall cancer likelihood categorized on a 1-10 scale or as Low / Intermediate / Elevated risk

- Interactive Decision Support: Real-time concurrent use during radiologist reading to improve detection and characterization

Transpara 2.1 Advanced Features

- Temporal Comparison: Analyzes suspicious areas against up to 3 prior exams over 6 years, a first-of-its-kind capability in the breast AI market

- Breast Density Assessment: Automated BIRADS and volumetric breast density classification

- Workflow Optimization: CE-marked for use as decision support, independent second reader, partial replacement of second reader, or third reader in double-reading programs

Clinical Evidence

- MASAI Trial (Sweden): First and only RCT in breast AI; improved cancer detection by 29% and reduced reading workload by 44% (The Lancet, January 2026)

- Real-World Adoption: ~65% of Danish screening programs, ~40% of Swedish regions, and one-third of Spain's screening population actively implement Transpara

- Interval Cancer Detection: Research shows up to 45% of interval cancers can be found earlier using Transpara

- Risk Prediction: Image-based breast cancer risk algorithm outperformed Mirai, iCAD, and Google at 5-year risk prediction; within the highest 14% of risk scores, predicted 41.8% of all future cancers and 50.3% of interval cancers (npj Digital Medicine)
