TLDR
CAD may have the potential to increase cancer detection by up to 16%, and to reduce the number of interval cancers byUp to 20% in SFM and FFDM screening programs using independent double reading with consensus review.
Abstract
BackgroundDouble reading improves the cancer detection rate in mammography screening. Single reading with computer-aided detection (CAD) has been considered to be an alternative to double reading. Little is known about the potential benefit of CAD in breast cancer screening with double reading.PurposeTo compare prospective independent double reading of screen-film (SFM) and full-field digital (FFDM) mammography in population-based screening with retrospective standalone CAD performance on the baseline mammograms of the screen-detected cancers and subsequent cancers diagnosed during the follow-up period.Material and MethodsThe study had ethics committee approval. A 5-point rating scale for probability of cancer was used for 23,923 (SFM = 16,983; FFDM = 6940) screening mammograms. Of 208 evaluable cancers, 104 were screen-detected and 104 were subsequent (44 interval and 60 next screening round) cancers. Baseline mammograms of subsequent cancers were retrospectively classified in consensus without informati...

The efficacy of using computer-aided detection (CAD) for detection of breast cancer in mammography screening: a systematic review.

TL;DR: An overview of studies concerning computer-aided detection in screening mammography for early detection of BC and compare diagnostic accuracy and recall rates of single reading with SR’+ CAD and double reading with DR to show an increase in RR, sensitivity and CDR when adding CAD to SR.

Single reading with computer-aided detection performed by selected radiologists in a breast cancer screening program.

TL;DR: The cancer detection rate of the screening program improved using a single reading protocol by experienced radiologists assisted by computer-aided detection, at the cost of a moderate increase of the recall rate mainly related to the lack of arbitration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the capability of computer-aided detection (CAD) to identify missed lesions and whether or not CAD increases the radiologists' recall rate was evaluated by panels of radiologists.

TL;DR: In this article, a multicenter retrospective study accrued 1,083 consecutive cases of breast cancer detected at screening mammography and evaluated the ability of computer-aided detection (CAD) to mark the missed cancers.
