Objective: The purpose of this study was to achieve 3D registration of digital tomosynthesis mammographic volumes using mutual information.

Conclusion: Registration of digital breast tomosynthesis mammographic volumes was achieved with an average error of 1.8 +/- 1.4 mm.

Purpose: Traditional computer-assisted detection (CADe) algorithms were developed for 2D mammography, while modern artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can be applied to 2D mammography and/or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The objective is to compare the performance of a traditional machine learning CADe algorithm for synthetic 2D mammography to a deep learning-based AI algorithm for DBT on the same mammograms.

Methods: Mammographic examinations from 764 patients (mean age 58 years ± 11) with 106 biopsy-proven cancers and 658 cancer-negative cases were analyzed by a CADe algorithm (ImageChecker v10.

Bone fractures due to osteoporosis are a significant problem. Limited accuracy of standard bone mineral density (BMD) for fracture risk assessment, combined with low adherence to bone health screening precludes identification of those at risk of fracture. Because of the wide availability of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) imaging, bone screening using a DBT scanner at the time of breast screening has been proposed.

Background: Mammographic imaging is essential for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. In addition to masses, calcifications are of concern and the early detection of breast cancer also heavily relies on the correct interpretation of suspicious microcalcification clusters. Even with advances in imaging and the introduction of novel techniques such as digital breast tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography, a correct interpretation can still be challenging given the subtle nature and large variety of calcifications.

Article Synopsis
  • A guideline panel in Italy created recommendations for breast cancer screening to align with European Breast Cancer Guidelines, following the ADOLOPMENT approach for adaptation.
  • The panel utilized the GRADE EtD framework, incorporating findings from a PubMed search specific to Italy, and included nine articles as contextual evidence.
  • Thirteen finalized recommendations emphasize organized screening every 2 years for women aged 50-69, conditional screening for those aged 70-74, and advise against annual mammography for women 50 and older to enhance standardized processes and promote health equity.
