Breast cancer poses a significant health threat worldwide. Contrastive learning has emerged as an effective method to extract critical lesion features from mammograms, thereby offering a potent tool for breast cancer screening and analysis. A crucial aspect of contrastive learning is negative sampling, where the selection of hard negative samples is essential for driving representations to retain detailed lesion information.

Objective: To identify clusters of women with similar trajectories of breast density change over four longitudinal assessments and to examine the association between these trajectories and the subsequent risk of breast cancer.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Data from the national breast cancer screening programme, which is embedded in the National Health Insurance Service database in Korea.

False-Negative Review from the Mammography Audit: Refining Breast Imaging Practice.

Radiographics

Annual review of false-negative (FN) mammograms is a mandatory and critical component of the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) annual mammography audit. FN review can help hone reading skills and improve the ability to detect cancers at mammography. Subtle architectural distortion, asymmetries (seen only on one view), small lesions, lesions with probably benign appearance (circumscribed regular borders), isolated microcalcifications, and skin thickening are the most common mammographic findings when the malignancy is visible at retrospective review of FN mammograms.

Aim: This study aimed to detail our experience of using SCOUT® radar reflector for lesion localisation in the breast and axilla.

Materials And Methods: This is a prospective cohort study describing our clinical experience with the first 500 patients who received SCOUT® to localise lesions in the breast and axilla (from 23 July 2020 to 4 April 2022). Study measures include patient demographics, lesion location, diagnostic pathways (screening or symptomatic), imaging, and surgical and pathology outcomes.

Background: A significant proportion of false positive recalls of mammography-screened women is due to benign breast cysts and simple fibroadenomas. These lesions appear mammographically as smooth-shaped dense masses and require the recalling of women for a breast ultrasound to obtain complementary imaging information. They can be identified safely by ultrasound with no need for further assessment or treatment.
