Is One Prior Enough: Does Comparing with Multiple Prior Examinations Impact Recall Rates at Screening Mammography? Type: Science Session - Breast Imaging (Screening Issues) Details: Comparison with one or more prior mammograms significantly reduced the screening mammography recall rate relative to interpretation without priors. Comparison with multiple prior mammograms resulted in a trend towards further reduction in recall rate relative to comparison with a single prior, but the result was not statistically significant after adjustment for patient age. Work is ongoing to evaluate results in the context of breast density in addition to patient age, and to evaluate additional metrics of positive predictive value and cancer detection rate. |
