A Study to Determine Patient Benefit of Tomosynthesis in Screening Mammography


We will evaluate the effect of tomosynthesis mammography outcomes in a screening setting. We
will collect data on interpretation time, recall rates, cancer detection rates, and interval
cancer rates in dense breasts(≥ 50% glandular density). If the interpretation time is less
than 4X a routine read, and the recall rates have dropped < 30% of initial values, we will
then conduct a study with larger numbers to better evaluate cancer detection rates and
interval cancer rates.
