TLDR
The lower false-positive risk with use of digital mammography should be taken into account when balancing the risks and benefits of breast cancer screening.Abstract:
While cancer detection did not differ in women screened with screen-film mammography (SFM) or digital mammography (DM), the recall rate and false-positive risk were lower with DM than with SFM after adjustment was made for the woman’s screening mammogram, radiology unit screening round, age at screening, and time trends.read more

Impact of transition from analog screening mammography to digital screening mammography on screening outcome in The Netherlands: a population-based study
Joost Nederend,Lucien E. M. Duijm,Marieke W. Louwman,Johanna H. Groenewoud,A. B. Donkers-van Rossum,Adri C. Voogd +5 more
TL;DR: FFDM significantly increased the referral rate and cancer detection rate, at the expense of a lower positive predictive value of referral and biopsy, while increased over-diagnosis cannot be excluded.

Comparison of Direct Digital Mammography, Computed Radiography, and Film-Screen in the French National Breast Cancer Screening Program
TL;DR: Direct digital mammography has a higher detection rate than film-screen mammography in dense breasts and for tumors of high grade and this latter association warrants further study to measure the impact of technology on efficacy of screening.

TL;DR: PPVs were higher when DM was used, both for further assessments and for invasive procedures, with similar cancer detection rates and no statistically significant differences in tumour characteristics.

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.

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: The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess additional benefits and harms of either digital mammography or magnetic resonance imaging instead of film mammography as screening modalities for breast cancer.

Screening for breast cancer: an update for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
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.
