Background: Breast cancer is a non-communicable and common disease that accounts for a high percentage of deaths. Early diagnosis of this disease reduces the death rate. Screening methods such as digital mammography can help prevent or identify the disease earlier. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the cost-benefit of breast cancer using digital mammography.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted based on PRISMA 2020 checklist. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched without any time limitation on June 2022. The quality of the studies was evaluated with the CHEERS checklist. After data extraction, the results were synthesized by thematic content analysis.
Results: During the search, 3468 records were identified, of which 1061 were duplicates. 2407 titles and abstracts screened in terms of inclusion criteria. Finally, after studying 20 fulltexts, three of them were included in the study. The quality of these articles was scored between 10 and 16. These studies were from Spain, Denmark, and the United States from 2000 to 2019. Two studies showed that digital mammography is not as effective as other screening methods.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that digital mammography is not very cost-benefit for the health care system. An increase in its repetition frequency imposes more costs on the health system and doesn't have more benefits for it.

Enhancing diagnostic accuracy in breast cancer: integrating novel machine learning approaches with enhanced image preprocessing for improved mammography analysis.

Purpose: This study explored the use of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to enhance mammography image quality and identify potentially suspicious areas, because mammography is the primary method for breast cancer screening. The primary aim was to find the best combination of preprocessing algorithms to enable more precise classification and interpretation of mammography images because the selected preprocessing algorithms significantly impact the effectiveness of later classification and segmentation processes.
Material And Methods: The study utilised the mini-MIAS database of mammography images and examined the impact of applying various preprocessing method combinations to differentiate between malignant and benign breast lesions.

Introduction: The following presentation explores the diagnostic potential of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) in evaluating and managing Paget's Disease (PD) of the breast, particularly as an alternative or complementary tool to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in cases where MRI is contraindicated or inconclusive.
Clinical Cases: Two clinical cases of PD diagnosed at our Breast Imaging Division between January and May 2024 were analyzed using CEM. These cases involved imaging techniques, including Digital Mammography (DM), Breast Ultrasound (US), MRI and CEM, alongside histopathological confirmation through nipple-areolar complex (NAC) punch biopsies.

Osteosarcoma of primary breast origin is a rare form of malignancy. Imaging findings are nonspecific and often overlap with other differential considerations reinforcing the importance of radiologic-pathologic correlation for an accurate diagnosis. This case report details the clinical presentation, imaging findings, histopathological features, and therapeutic approach that transpired to diagnose and treat this rare malignancy.

Background: The concept of personalized medicine is becoming increasingly important. The possibilities of diagnostics include not only genetic and molecular tumor profiles, but also the use of precise and individual imaging techniques.
Objectives: The development and implementation of suitable diagnostic procedures with high sensitivity and specificity, which are at the same time tailored to the individual risk factors and biological characteristics of the patient, remain a challenge.
A straightforward method for assessing the technical image quality of reconstructed and synthetic 2D images for Digital breast tomosynthesis systems.

Purpose: Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is an advanced mammography technique for which there are currently no internationally agreed methods and reference values for image quality assessment. The aim of this multicentre study was to evaluate a simple method to assess the technical image quality of reconstructed and synthetic 2D (SM) images of different models of DBT systems using commercially available phantoms.
Methods: The signal difference to noise ratio (SDNR) was chosen as an index of technical image quality and was evaluated for three commercial phantoms, Tomophan, Tormam and CIRS model 015, on 55 DBT systems (six vendors, nine models).
