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.

Multiclass Segmentation of Breast Tissue and Suspicious Findings: A Simulation-Based Study for the Development of Self-Steering Tomosynthesis

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used virtual clinical trial techniques to analyze whether a finding or area at high risk of masking cancers can be detected in a single low-dose projection and thus be used for motion planning.

An IoT Healthcare Framework for Diagnosis of Breast Cancer using Hybrid Transfer Learning

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid transfer learning model (Fusion of Modified VGG (MVGG), residual network, mobile network) was proposed and implemented for early detection of breast cancer.

Sobre el error diagnóstico. Artículo de revisión

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made a PubMed published articles review about cancer diagnostic error, inspired by first published articles about it, and compiled information of newest able articles about consequences which might carry being cancer misdiagnosed, as well as about some possible solution in order to try to get the error rate to minimum.

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

TL;DR: The introduction of digital mammography has allowed the development of new image acquisition and processing techniques, such as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), which promises to overcome some of the limitations of conventional 2D mammography.

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.
