TLDR
Although DR is equivalent to SFM for breast screening among women aged 50-74 years, the cancer detection rate was lower for CR, and screening programs should monitor the performance of CR separately and may consider informing women of the potentially lower cancer detection rates.Abstract:
Cancer detection with digital mammography that involves direct radiography technology was similar to that with screen film mammography in women aged 50–74 years; however, for computed radiography, the risk of cancer detection is significantly lower—by 21%—among all screening techniques.read more

Effectiveness of Screening With Annual Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Mammography: Results of the Initial Screen From the Ontario High Risk Breast Screening Program
Anna M. Chiarelli,Maegan V. Prummel,Derek Muradali,Vicky Majpruz,Meaghan Horgan,June C. Carroll,Andrea Eisen,Wendy S. Meschino,Rene Shumak,Ellen Warner,Linda Rabeneck +10 more
TL;DR: Screening with annual MRI combined with mammography has the potential to be effectively implemented into an organized breast screening program for women at high risk for breast cancer and could be considered an important management option for known BRCA gene mutation carriers.

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Accuracy of Mammographic Screening
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the sensitivity, specificity, and small-cancer detection rate according to HRT use in 103 770 women in Victoria, Australia, who attended first-round screening in 1994 and who did not have a personal history of breast cancer or a breast lump or a bloodstained or watery nipple discharge at the time of screening.

Comparative performance of modern digital mammography systems in a large breast screening program

TL;DR: The physical measures expressing spatial resolution, and signal-to-noise ratio are consistent with the published finding that sites employing CR systems had lower cancer detection rates than those using DR systems for screening mammography.

TL;DR: The clinical effectiveness of mammography for the task of detecting calcification clusters was found to be linked to image quality assessment using the CDMAM phantom, and the European Guidelines should be reviewed as the current minimum image quality standards may be too low.

Digital Compared with Screen-Film Mammography: Measures of Diagnostic Accuracy among Women Screened in the Ontario Breast Screening Program
Maegan V. Prummel,Derek Muradali,Rene Shumak,Vicky Majpruz,Patrick Brown,Hedy Jiang,Susan J. Done,Martin J. Yaffe,Anna M. Chiarelli +8 more
TL;DR: Given the 38% lower sensitivity of CR imaging systems compared with SFM, programs should assess the continued use of this technology for breast screening, especially for rescreening examinations.

Analysis of longitudinal data
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized linear model for longitudinal data and transition models for categorical data are presented. But the model is not suitable for categric data and time dependent covariates are not considered.

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: New studies and evidence gaps that were unresolved at the time of the 2002 USPSTF recommendation are focused on, including the effectiveness of mammography screening in decreasing breast cancer mortality among average-risk women aged 40 to 49 years and 70 years or older.

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.
