Radiologists typically compare a patient's most recent breast cancer screening exam to their previous ones in making informed diagnoses.

We train and evaluate our proposed models on over 665,000 pairs of images (over 166,000 pairs of exams). Our best model achieves an AUC of 0.866 in predicting malignancy in patients who underwent breast cancer screening, reducing the error rate of the corresponding baseline.
