Screening for Dense Breasts: Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2015
OBJECTIVE. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a recent imaging technology that was developed to address the limitations of conventional 2D mammography. The limitations of standard mammography are well known and include reduced sensitivity in dense breasts.

Breast cancer detection: Comparison of digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis across non-dense and dense breasts

Radiography, 2021
Breast density is associated with an increase in breast cancer risk and limits early detection of the disease. This study assesses the diagnostic performance of mammogram readers in digital mammography (DM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT).Eleven breast readers with 1-39 years of experience reading mammograms and 0-4 years of experience reading ...

Ultrasound of the breast in the symptomatic and X-ray dense breast

Clinical Radiology, 1985
Our preliminary experience of direct-contact B-scan sonomammography in 500 patients is recorded and is compared with X-ray mammography. The technique has been of considerable value in the radiologically dense breast and, since standard equipment can be used, the practice should become more widespread, in the anticipation that identification and ...

Detecting Breast Cancer in Women with Dense Breasts

New England Journal of Medicine, 2019
Screening asymptomatic patients for cancer is based on a simple premise: cancers that are detected early before they produce symptoms should be easier to cure than those that progress to become cli...

Alternative Screening for Dense Breasts: MRI

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2015
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review the use of MRI in breast density measurement and breast cancer risk estimation and to discuss the role of MRI as an alternative screening to mammography for screening women with dense breasts. CONCLUSION.

Systematic ultrasonography in asymptomatic dense breasts

European Journal of Radiology, 1998
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of ultrasonography in breast cancer screening. 350 Bilateral ultrasound (US) were performed in 350 asymptomatic patients with dense breasts. 7.5, 10 And 13 MHz transducers were used (Esaote Biomedica, Italy).

Role of equalisation mammography of dense breasts

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1995
Parenchymal patterns characteristic of dense breasts are known to degrade the mammographic detection of small breast cancers and microcalcifications. This arises from large variations in exposure of the film, resulting in reduced image contrast over areas of suboptimal exposure.

Interpretation Time Using a Concurrent-Read Computer-Aided Detection System for Automated Breast Ultrasound in Breast Cancer Screening of Women With Dense Breast Tissue.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2018
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy and interpretation time of screening automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for women with dense breast tissue without and with use of a recently U.S.

Women's perceptions of dense breast notifications in a Massachusetts safety net hospital: "So what is that supposed to mean?"

Patient Education and Counseling, 2018
OBJECTIVE Currently, 30 US states mandate that radiologists notify women when dense breast tissue is found on mammography. Little is understood about how notifications are perceived by recipients.

Abbreviated Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Supplemental Screening of Women With Dense Breasts and Average Risk.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2020
PURPOSE Although mammography is the standard of care for breast cancer screening, dense breast tissue decreases mammographic sensitivity. We report the prevalent cancer detection rate (CDR) from the first clinical implementation of abbreviated breast ...
