Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of tomosynthesis on diagnostic mammography by comparing Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categories over time.
- It involved a retrospective review of mammograms taken before and three years after the introduction of tomosynthesis, focusing on changes in BI-RADS assessments and positive predictive values following biopsies.
- Results showed a significant increase in negative/benign assessments and a decrease in probably benign findings with tomosynthesis, whereas the rates for more concerning categories remained stable, but the positive predictive value for higher-risk categories improved significantly.
Purpose: To examine recall rates from screening mammography and the mammographic findings that caused recall in women who underwent digital breast tomosynthesis with conventional mammography (referred to as two-dimensional [ 2D two-dimensional ] with three-dimensional [ 3D three-dimensional ] imaging [ 2D two-dimensional + 3D three-dimensional ]) and in women who underwent conventional mammography alone (referred to as 2D two-dimensional ).
Materials And Methods: This was an institutional review board-approved, HIPAA-compliant study with waivers of informed consent. A retrospective review of 2D two-dimensional + 3D three-dimensional and 2D two-dimensional screening mammograms from August 1, 2011, to December 31, 2012, was performed.
Purpose: To determine performance and utilization of screening breast ultrasonography (US) in women with dense breast tissue who underwent additional screening breast US in the 1st year since implementation of Connecticut Public Act 09-41 requiring radiologists to inform patients with heterogeneous or extremely dense breasts at mammography that they may benefit from such examination.
Materials And Methods: Informed consent was waived for this institutional review board-approved, HIPAA-compliant retrospective review of 935 women with dense breasts at mammography who subsequently underwent handheld screening and whole-breast US from October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2010.
Results: Of 935 women, 614 (65.
