Abstract

The study investigated the accuracy of two-view full-field digital (2D) mammograms (FFDM) by comparing its performance with two-view digital breast tomosynthesis (3D) plus FFDM combination in a symptomatic setting.

Highlights

  • Previous research in this centre enabled the introduction of a local protocol of nonbiopsy and discharge of women

  • Mammography-detected cancers were luminal in 77% (P = 0.03), node negative in 77% (P = 0.005), with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in 81% (P = 0.007)

  • We applied our approach to 13 experienced readers assessing 13,694 screening mammograms from a large clinical study where women are categorised as high risk if they have a 5 to 8% 10-year risk computed by a validated risk model and their breast density is in the top decile of the study population
