Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System subdivisions 4a, 4b, and 4c were poorly reproducible among radiologists, reflecting the lack of clear and objective factors to guide classification of a lesion according to the degree of suspicion of malignancy

Our review of the images from prior MR imaging examinations shows that the cancers grow in size and that enhancement curves change from type 1 to type 2 or 3 and demonstrate greater signal enhancement over time

Our analysis results suggest that, image contrast was the most important factor in the improved performance of digital mammography, as compared with screen-film mammography, in the Digital Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial

The results of this study show that recall rates and the rates of invasive tests performed were lower in the digital mammography group than in the screen-film mammography group, whereas no significant differences between the groups were observed for the overall cancer detection rate

Currently, no standard method exists for breast percent density (PD) estimation on three-dimensional reconstructed images; until the emergence of such a method, PD could be estimated on central digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) projections if DBT were to replace digital mammography in clinical practice
