Assessing Radiologist Performance Using Combined Digital Mammography and Breast Tomosynthesis Compared with Digital Mammography Alone: Results of a Multicenter, Multireader Trial

TLDR
Addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography offers the dual benefit of significantly increased diagnostic accuracy and significantly reduced recall rates for noncancer cases.
Abstract
The addition of tomosynthesis to digital mammography offers the dual benefit of improved diagnostic accuracy and significant reduction in false-positive recall rate, thereby avoiding unnecessary additional testing and decreasing attendant anxiety, inconvenience, and cost for women.

Generalized Roe and Metz receiver operating characteristic model: analytic link between simulated decision scores and empirical AUC variances and covariances

TL;DR: This work provides the theoretical foundation and validation for a Java application called iRoeMetz that can simulate multireader multicase ROC studies and numerically calculate the corresponding variances and covariances of the empirical AUC.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison between digital breast tomosynthesis and full-field digital mammography for the detection of breast cancers.

TL;DR: Good agreement in lesion detection and characterization between FFDM and DBT images showed and it was demonstrated that combining DBT and FFDM is superior in detecting cancer compared to standard FFDM.

The role of digital breast tomosynthesis in the breast assessment clinic: a review

TL;DR: The role of DBT for use in breast cancer assessment and its future in biopsy is evaluated, with a focus on the development of a new technique, a limited angle cone beam pseudo‐three‐dimensional tomosynthesis, DBT.

Virtual Clinical Trials in Medical Imaging System Evaluation and Optimisation.

TL;DR: OpenVCT as mentioned in this paper is an open-source framework for conducting virtual clinical trials (VCTs) of medical imaging, with a particular focus on breast imaging, which can be used to evaluate and optimise medical imaging systems.

Screening for Lung Cancer: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement

TL;DR: Although lung cancer screening is not an alternative to smoking cessation, the USPSTF found adequate evidence that annual screening for lung cancer with LDCT in a defined population of high-risk persons can prevent a substantial number of lung cancerrelated deaths.

Diagnostic Performance of Digital versus Film Mammography for Breast-Cancer Screening

TL;DR: The overall diagnostic accuracy of digital and film mammography as a means of screening for breast cancer is similar, but digital mammography is more accurate in women under the age of 50 years, women with radiographically dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual and combined effects of age, breast density, and hormone replacement therapy use on the accuracy of screening mammography.

TL;DR: The accuracy of screening mammography is best in older women and in women with fatty breasts, and the individual and combined effects of age, breast density, and HRT use on mammographic accuracy are examined.
