A Randomized Trial Comparing Breast Cancer Incidence and Interval Cancers after Tomosynthesis Plus Mammography versus Mammography Alone

Pierpaolo Pattacini et al.

Summary: The baseline cancer detection was higher in the DBT plus DM arm compared to the DM arm, but the interval cancer incidence was similar between the two groups. Cumulative incidence remained higher in women over 50 in the DBT plus DM arm, while it was similar in women aged 45-49.

Repeat Screening Outcomes with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Plus Synthetic Mammography for Breast Cancer Detection: Results from the Prospective Verona Pilot Study

Francesca Caumo et al.

Summary: The study compared the diagnostic accuracy of digital breast tomosynthesis plus synthetic mammography and full-field digital mammography for screening, finding that DBT+SM detected more cancers and reduced the number of stage II or higher cancers at repeat screening compared to FFDM.

Assessment of breast positioning criteria in mammographic screening: Agreement between artificial intelligence software and radiographers

Gunvor G. Waade et al.

Summary: AI shows potential in evaluating breast positioning criteria in mammography by reducing subjectivity, but there is varying agreement between radiographers and AI. Standardized and evidence-based criteria are needed to optimize image quality in mammography.

Validation of a candidate instrument to assess image quality in digital mammography using ROC analysis

Joana Boita et al.

Summary: The study aimed to validate a candidate instrument for assessing image quality in digital mammography against detection performance results. Results showed no significant differences in image quality among the four levels, with level 1 performing better than levels 2, 3, and 4. There was a high similarity in assessments between radiologists and physicists, with an average VGAS difference of 10%.
