In metropolitan regions, one in every 22 women will have breast cancer over their lifetime; but in rural areas, one in every 60 women will develop breast cancer as per estimates.Aim and objectiveThis paper aims to describe the various AI based breast screening technologies which are used in breast cancer screening in India.MethodologyThe literature search was done using “Pub Med,” “Google scholar,” and “Scopus” databases for the key terms “technology,” “cancer research,” “artificial intelligence,” “mammography”, “breast cancer,” “cancer,” and/or “neoplasia in breast.” All the relevant articles were included to support this mini review.ResultsWe found that emerging artificial intelligent technologies namely “Niramai”, “iBreastExam,” “MammoAssist” are emerging as an hope for early detection by screening in resource poor settings, in turn, which can improve the QOL among breast cancer patients.
