Screening mammography: clinical image quality and the risk of interval breast cancer.

Objective: We evaluated the association between clinical image quality and breast cancer occurrence within 24 months of a negative mammogram.

Materials And Methods: We identified women with breast cancer who were younger than 40 years old and older and screened from January 1, 1988, through December 31, 1993. We retrospectively assigned Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) assessments to their screening mammogram.

Study design in the evaluation of breast cancer imaging technologies.

Rationale And Objectives: Bringing a new imaging technology to market is a complex process. Beyond conceptualization and proof of concept, obtaining U.S.

Breast density as a predictor of mammographic detection: comparison of interval- and screen-detected cancers.

Background: Screening mammography is the best method to reduce mortality from breast cancer, yet some breast cancers cannot be detected by mammography. Cancers diagnosed after a negative mammogram are known as interval cancers. This study investigated whether mammographic breast density is related to the risk of interval cancer.
