Artificial intelligence in mammography

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

Mammography is offered for routine breast cancer screening in women over 50. It may also be offered to men and women of any age, who are either suspected of having breast cancer, or who are at increased risk of breast cancer. It is therefore associated with the protected characteristics of sex and age.
