Breast Cancer Screening for Women at Average Risk
TL;DR: There are multiple organizations with recommendations for breast cancer screening in women at average risk but differ in the age at which to initiate mammograms, screening interval, and the age in which to stop screening.

Comparison of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and Contrast-Enhanced Breast MR Imaging
TL;DR: Contrast-enhanced mammography has similar sensitivity and specificity to MR Imaging and has advantages in terms of cost, patient acceptability, and examination time, but MR Imaging has some advantages compared with CEM.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Measuring the accuracy of diagnostic systems
TL;DR: For diagnostic systems used to distinguish between two classes of events, analysis in terms of the "relative operating characteristic" of signal detection theory provides a precise and valid measure of diagnostic accuracy.
