Abstract EN
Purpose.
To compare the diagnostic performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and digital mammography (DM) for breast cancers.
Materials and Methods.
Fifty-seven female patients with pathologically proved breast cancer were enrolled.
Three readers gave a subjective assessment superiority of the index lesions (mass, focal asymmetry, architectural distortion, or calcifications) and a forced BIRADS score, based on DM reading alone and with additional DBT information.
The relevance between BIRADS category and index lesions of breast cancer was compared by chi-square test.
Result.
A total of 59 breast cancers were reviewed, including 17 (28.8%) mass lesions, 12 (20.3%) focal asymmetry/density, 6 (10.2%) architecture distortion, 23 (39.0%) calcifications, and 1 (1.7%) intracystic tumor.
Combo DBT was perceived to be more informative in 58.8% mass lesions, 83.3% density, 94.4% architecture distortion, and only 11.6% calcifications.
As to the forced BIRADS score, 84.4% BIRADS 0 on DM was upgraded to BIRADS 4 or 5 on DBT, whereas only 27.3% BIRADS 4A on DM was upgraded on DBT, as BIRADS 4A lesions were mostly calcifications.
A significant P value (<0.001) between the BIRADS category and index lesions was noted.
Conclusion.
Adjunctive DBT gives exquisite information for mass lesion, focal asymmetry, and/or architecture distortion to improve the diagnostic performance in mammography.
