Participant Flow

Asymptomatic women 25 years and older were accrued between 1/4/2011 and 1/10/2012 at Albert Einstein Med Ctr \& U Pennsylvania School of Med. 2-D FFDM and tomosynthesis images were acquired using Hologic digital mammography units. (Group A). An additional set of Women called back from screening for 2-D FFDM-detected abnormalities were recruited for an enriched population (Group B) \[up to 50\]

Study will over-accrue until 550 eligible cases are available

Measure
Asymptomatic Women (Screening)
Asymptomatic women with no history of breast cancer who are scheduled for routine screening of the breasts with FFDM. Screening Tomosynthesis: Tomosynthesis imaging sets (limited tomosynthesis set and then a sequential read with the low-dose CC view added for the tomosynthesis plus set).
Enriched Diagnostic DBT Followup (Group B)
Asymptomatic women with no history of breast cancer who have been informed of positive (abnormal) findings from a recent (within 30 days) FFDM screening will be recruited to Group B prior to their diagnostic imaging (e.g., diagnostic FFDM and/or ultrasound and/or other). Group B participants will consent to DBT of both breasts as part of their diagnostic imaging work up; all screening and diagnostic images will be collected for study-related analysis.

Population: Dose and associated parameters were pulled from each collected images DICOM header.

a mixed Regression Model to identify the determinants of participant radiation dose, including covariates (X) such as: kVp, mAs, target/filter combination, and breast thickness and compression. Dose = B1\*X1 + B2\*X2 + B3\*X3 + ... The outcome measures is are the estimated coefficients (B) of the covariate (X) in the mixed regression model. The coefficient (B) of the term (X) represents the change in the mean response (dose) for one unit of change in that term. If the coefficient is negative, as the term increases, the mean value of the response decreases. If the coefficient is positive, as the term increases, the mean value of the response increases. Note: the TUNGSTEN/SILVER categorical target/filter combination is used as the reference category and will have a parameter value of 0.

Population: Analysis is base on the lesions found with either viewing method. 1 finding classified as "calcifications only" in the tomosynthesis plus set was classified as a MASS in the two-view limited tomosynthesis set 1 finding classified as "calcifications only" in the tomosynthesis plus set was classified as a ASYMMETRY the two-view limited tomosynthesis set

Group A, screening tomosynthesis, cases will be evaluated using 2 methodologies. Readers will read each screening exams using either (1) the limited tomosynthesis set (with low-dose MLO view alone) or (2) the tomosynthesis plus set (low-dose MLO view plus addition of low-dose CC view) and classify the lesions they are able to visualize per SOC. SOC Lesions characterizations include: Calcification Only lesion , Mass, Focal Asymmetry, Architectural Distortion, Global Asymmetry, Calcification) The characterizations will be tabulated by whether or not each lesion was classified in the given category.
