Systematic review of the psychological consequences of false-positive screening mammograms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the psychological impact on women of false-positive screening mammograms and any evidence for the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce this impact, and conclude that the experience of having a false positive screening mammogram can cause breast cancer-specific psychological distress that may endure for up to three years.

Diagnostic Efficacy of Synthesized 2D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis in Multi-ethnic Malaysian Population.

TL;DR: Investigating the diagnostic efficacy of synthesized 2D images (C-View) in comparison to full field digital mammography (FFDM) when used with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in multi-ethnic Malaysian population found high level of interreader agreement and density assessment.

The role of digital breast tomosynthesis in breast cancer screening: a manufacturer- and metrics-specific analysis.

TL;DR: The optimum implementation method of DBT in breast screening, in terms of diagnostic benefit and patient radiation dose, for one manufacturer does not necessarily apply to other manufacturers.

Digital breast tomosynthesis: initial experience in 98 women with abnormal digital screening mammography.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the image quality of tomosynthesis with that of conventional mammography and estimated the recall rate of screening when Tomosynthesis is used in addition to mammography.

Digital breast tomosynthesis: observer performance study.

TL;DR: Use of digital breast tomosynthesis for breast imaging may result in a substantial decrease in recall rate, and there was no convincing evidence that use of digital Breast Tomosynthesis alone or in combination with FFDM results in a significant improvement in sensitivity.
