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.read more

Utility of Breast MRI for Further Evaluation of Equivocal Findings on Digital Breast Tomosynthesis.
TL;DR: As clinical implementation of DBT becomes increasingly widespread, breast radiologists need an algorithm for addressing the small number of inconclusive findings that remain equivocal despite thorough DM/DBT and ultrasound examinations.

TL;DR: Bae et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated screening outcomes among women in the United States who underwent routine DM or DBT mammographic screening and found that women undergoing digital breast tomosynthesis had improved screening mammography outcomes compared with women who underwent digital mammography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiologists' interpretive efficiency and variability in true- and false-positive detection when screen-reading with tomosynthesis (3D-mammography) relative to standard mammography in population screening
TL;DR: Study-level FP:TP trade-off improved using 2D/3D-mammography for all studies, which was also seen for most individual radiologists, as suggested by lower variance in ratios.

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to review the most common data analysis methods encountered in radiology-based studies, with a particular emphasis on regression analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance and Application of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis for the BI-RADS Classification of Breast Cancer.
TL;DR: Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) could be used for the BI-RADS classification in breast cancer in clinical and indicated that COMBO pattern is able to observe more details in distribution of glands when estimating content.

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.

TL;DR: 7 years after the start of the study the excess of stage I cancers in the study group largely outweighs the deficit of advanced cancers, and the results to the end of 1984 show a 31% reduction in mortality from breast cancer and a 25% reduced in the rate of stage II or more advanced breast cancers.

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.

TL;DR: The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess additional benefits and harms of either digital mammography or magnetic resonance imaging instead of film mammography as screening modalities for breast cancer.

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.
