Beyond the Mammogram: Prof. Dr. Dammann on the Future of Breast Imaging
In the first episode of our new Beyond the Mammogram interview series, we sit down with Prof. Dr. Florian Dammann, Head of Senoradiology at Inselspital Bern, to explore the shifting landscape of radiology and the pivotal role technology, training, and teamwork will play in its future.
Prof. Dammann offers a candid, deeply informed view on how clinical teams are navigating increasing workloads and the real-world pressures that come with every image interpreted. His perspective blends scientific rigor with day-to-day insights from one of Switzerland’s leading university hospitals.
What’s inside the interview
In this conversation, we touch on:
-
The evolution of breast imaging in a high-volume clinical setting
-
Where current tools fall short and where support is most needed
-
How to balance quality, speed, and human focus under rising demand
-
Why standardization alone is not the answer without personalization
-
The role of AI: From theory to practical impact
About the series: Beyond the Mammogram
This interview is part of Beyond the Mammogram, a new initiative from b-rayZ that gives the stage to radiology leaders, frontline technologists, and innovators from across Europe. Instead of just talking about AI, we’re talking about workloads, real patients, and the human decisions behind every report.
We feature voices from across the screening and diagnostic ecosystem, asking what really makes a difference; not in theory, but in practice.
Why we’re having these conversations
At b-rayZ, we’re building adaptive, certified AI that supports radiologists – not replaces them. With tools like DANAI, our goal is to reduce reporting fatigue, increase diagnostic consistency, and support earlier, more accurate decisions for every woman.
This interview, and the many to follow, help us listen better – and build smarter.
