Six UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) centres will participate in the study and recruit a total of 7000 women over a 15-18 month period. Women (aged 47-73) who have been recalled to an assessment clinic following abnormal screening mammography and women (aged 40-49) with a family history of breast cancer attending annual mammography will undergo both a standard digital mammogram and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) imaging. The diagnostic accuracy of the two sets of images will be compared in an independent retrospective reading study.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-906 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/medphys.royalsurrey.nhs.uk\/department\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tomscan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medphys.royalsurrey.nhs.uk\/department\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tomscan.jpg 199w, https:\/\/medphys.royalsurrey.nhs.uk\/department\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tomscan-129x300.jpg 129w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><strong>Example of a commercial digital mammography system capable of 2D and 3D digital mammography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more info please <a href=\"https:\/\/medphys.royalsurrey.nhs.uk\/nccpm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A comparison of TOMosynthesis with digital MammographY in the UK NHS Breast Screening Programme&#8221; The aim of this study is to assess whether DBT could improve upon digital mammography (FFDM) as a screening tool, particularly in certain groups of women e.g. those with a family history of breast cancer, or women with dense breasts.
