Abstract :Breast cancer has become one of the major reasons of mortality in women around the world. As a result, emphasis has been given on the diagnosis of breast cancer, emphasizing the integration of AI imaging tools for important advancements within the diagnosis of breast cancer. This study focuses on analysing the biocultural factors which influence the adoption of AI-powered breast imaging tools. In order to address this aim, interviews were conducted with 12 oncology specialists within the context of Turkey and thematic analysis was conducted by using NVivo software. Important themes were formulated which include AI in breast imaging pathway, AI in breast cancer’s biomarkers, biocultural factors influencing adoption of AI-powered breast imaging tools, prediction of genetic alteration and ethical constraints. It has been observed that although AI in breast imaging pathway is largely being promoted to reduce diagnosis time for the clinicians, it also has other disadvantages such as ethical constraints.
