Mammographic Density Estimation with Automated Volumetric Breast Density Measurement
OBJECTIVE To compare automated volumetric breast density measurement (VBDM) with radiologists' evaluations based on the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), and to identify the factors associated with technical failure of VBDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 1129 women aged 19-82 years who underwent mammography from December 2011 to January 2012 were included. Breast dens...

متن کاملTSH Measurement and Its Implications for Personalised Clinical Decision-Making
Advances in assay technology have promoted thyrotropin (TSH) measurements from participation in a multi-analyte assessment of thyroid function to a statistically defined screening parameter in its own right. While this approach has been successful in many ways, it has some grave limitations. This includes the basic question of what constitutes an agreed reference range and the fact that the pop...
متن کاملUsing mammographic density to improve breast cancer screening outcomes.
It is possible that the performance of mammographic screening would be improved if it is targeted at women at higher risk of breast cancer or who are more likely to have their cancer missed at screening, through more intensive screening or alternative screening modalities. We conducted a case-control study within a population-based Australian mammographic screening program (1,706 invasive breas...
متن کاملScreening for breast cancer.
Clearly breast cancer in women aged over 50 fulfils the first two criteria, but it is the third point that is inconsistent with the 3-yearly programme proposed in the UK. The ‘sojourn’ time is the duration of time that an occult tumour can be detected before the onset of symptoms. Applying this to breast cancer (for the average non-screening-detected breast cancer of 1 2 cm) it has been estimat...
