Digital breast tomosynthesis boosts reader accuracy, cuts recall rate
By Kathlyn Stone
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) boosts radiologists' cancer detection rates compared to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) alone, according to a multicenter, multireader study that evaluted reader performance with DBT. For this study, a dozen radiologists at five clinics took part in the trial, which compared radiologists' cancer detection rates and screening recall rates using DBT.

RSNA studies advance ultrasound's role in breast cancer detection
By Edward Susman
The preliminary results of the ACRIN 6666 trial show that ultrasound boosts cancer detection but at the risk of a higher false-positive rate. While the trial investigators continue to mine the trial data to find the best place for the modality in a screening setting, other researchers are using advanced imaging technology such as 3D and computer-aided analysis tools with ultrasound to enhance breast imaging.

Digital breast tomo cuts callback rate in screening setting
By Shalmali Pal
If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then the digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images are undeniably powerful: lesions that manage to hide on conventional mammography exams are easily exposed by DBT. But does this dramatic improvement in tissue visualization lead to significant changes in the cancer screening setting? Yes, according to researchers at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). They noted a marked reduction in the callback rate for women screened with tomosynthesis at MGH.
