“…This leads to lower work-up rates and fewer supplementary breast ultrasounds and unnecessary biopsies. The few studies pertaining to BI-RADS classification currently in the literature provided almost comparable results to our study [27,28]. More cases were also classified BI-RADS category 4 and 5 with DBT+DM (about 13% more than with DM alone), which means higher cancer detection rates, consistent with the results of prior studies [29,30].…”

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the added value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) when combined with digital mammography (DM) in BI-RADS assessment and follow-up management. Methods: From February 2014 to January 2015, 214 patients underwent DM and DBT, acquired with a Siemens Mammomat Inspiration unit. 2 expert readers independently reviewed the studies in 2 steps: DM and DM+DBT, according to BI-RADS rate. Patients with BI-RADS 0, 3, 4, and 5 were recalled for work-up. Inter-reader agreement for BI-RADS rate and work-up rate were evaluated using Cohen's kappa. Results: Inter-reader agreement (κ value) for BI-RADS classification was 0.58 for DM and 0.8 for DM+DBT. DM+DBT increased the number of BI-RADS 1, 2, 4, 5 and reduced the number of BI-RADS 0 and 3 for both readers compared to DM alone. Regarding work-up rate agreement, κ was poor for DM and substantial (0.7) for DM+DBT. DM+DBT also reduced the work-up rate for both Reader 1 and Reader 2. Conclusion: DM+DBT increased the number of negative and benign cases (BI-RADS 1 and 2) and suspicious and malignant cases (BI-RADS 4 and 5), while it reduced the number of BI-RADS 0 and 3. DM+DBT also improved inter-reader agreement and reduced the overall recall for additional imaging or short-interval follow-up.

“…It has been shown that DBT, in combination with DM, increases detection sensitivity while decreasing falsepositive and recall rates. 38,39 Taking into account the example of a 4.5 cm thick breast in Table X, the present work shows that a fusion imaging acquisition leads to a MGD of about 1.88 ± 0.36 mGy, which continues to remain below the limit of 2.0 mGy. Dose savings may be achieved if in the future a one-view DBT examination replaces the standard two-view DM screening technique.…”

Dosimetric characterization and organ dose assessment in digital breast tomosynthesis: Measurements and Monte Carlo simulations using voxel phantoms

et al. 2015

Taking into account an average breast with a thickness of 4.5 cm, the MGDs for DM and DBT acquisitions were below the achievable value (2.0 mGy) defined by the European protocol. Additionally, in the case of a fusion imaging study (DM + DBT), the MGD for a 4.5 cm thick breast is of the order of 1.88 ± 0.36 mGy. Finally, organ dose evaluations underline the need to improve awareness concerning dose estimation of DBT exams for some organs, especially when radiation risk is assessed by using the effective dose.

“…Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is rapidly being implemented in breast clinics as the "better mammogram" because it addresses some of the limitations of conventional two-dimensional mammography by alleviating the effect of superimposed structures that lead to both false-positive and false-negative results at breast cancer screening (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”
