In testing, the score outperformed traditional mammographic density measurements in flagging patients for supplemental breast imaging following a negative screening mammogram. Moreover, this risk categorization might also prompt an additional image review by radiologists, particularly when informed of a high AISmartDensity score.”

Study Shows DBT More Effective Detecting Breast Cancer

Imaging Technology

The data also suggests that 3D mammograms could reduce the incidence of advanced cancer diagnoses. YSM radiologists at Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) adopted the new DBT technology in 2011. Researchers analyzed 1,407 breast cancer cases detected from August 2008 to July 2021, including 35,544 DM screenings and 237,394 DBT screenings.

Can customized reader pairing boost mammo double reading performance?

AuntMinnie

In Europe, breast cancer screening involves double reading, where two interpreting radiologists review mammography images. However, radiologist pairing in this setting is done randomly, and screening performance varies among radiologists. per 1,000 exams 54.1 per 1,000 exams Abnormal interpretation rate (England) 68.2-70.5
