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.

Conceptual detector development and Monte Carlo simulation of a novel 3D breast computed tomography system

TL;DR: In this paper, a new 3D breast computed tomography (CT) system is presented enabling imaging of microcalcifications in a fully uncompressed breast including posterior chest wall tissue.

Tomosynthèse : pourquoi, quand, comment ?

TL;DR: La tomosynthese permet de s’affranchir au moins partiellement des structures parenchymateuses de voisinage au contact d’un cancer, elle ameliore la detection des lesions subtiles telles that les distorsions architecturales, ande est plus fiable du fait d”une meilleure delimitation des contours lesionnels.

Tri-plane correlation imaging for the detection of breast cancer: Effects of angular separation and correlation rule

TL;DR: Tri-plane correlation imaging was able to improve sensitivity over single projection imaging while maintaining specificity for both CADe programs, which suggests its potential as a supplement to standard mammography and as a complementary module to existing CADe algorithms.

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.
