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.

Breast cancer screening: meeting the challenges of today and exploring the technologies of tomorrow.

TL;DR: From 2006-2010, death rates for breast cancer decreased 3.0% per year in women younger than 50 years and 1.8% peryear in women 50 years old, indicating improvements in early detection and treatment and perhaps decreased incidence.

Screening Modalities for Women at Intermediate and High Risk for Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Analysis from ACRIN 6666 demonstrated that the cancer detection rate of ultrasound is comparable to mammography with an increased amount of invasive and node-negative cancers detected.

Prospective Comparison of Synthesized Mammography with DBT and Full-Field Digital Mammography with DBT Uncovers Recall Disagreements That may Impact Cancer Detection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of Synthesized mammography with digital breast tomosynthesis (SM+DBT) and full-field digital mammography (DBT) with DBT for the recall rate (RR), cancer detection rate (CDR), positive predictive value 1 (PPV1), lesion recall differences, and disagreements in recall for additional imaging.

Recent Advances and Application of Breast Imaging in Clinical Practice

TL;DR: A short overview of the existing imaging modalities including mammography, tomosynthesis, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and recent technological advances including positron emission mammography; and new state-of-the-art applications in optical imaging, cone-beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance–ultrasound navigation, and molecular imaging techniques are provided.

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.

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.
