2 Mammographic techniques * Conventional mammography: - Screen-film mammography (SFM) - Xeromammography - Computed radiography CR (CR-mammo) - Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) - Standard views (cc, mlo, lat) - Supplemental views (mag - cone view) - Ductography (galactography) (today:mri!) - Mammography-guided biopsy Advanced mammographic techniques: - Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) - Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) * Projection images using X-ray (i.e., «MR mammography», «Ultrasound mammography» «Dedicated breast CT» and other modalities should not be included in «mammographic techniques»!)

3 A) Klinisk mamma-diagnostikk : Hvor står vi og Hvor går vi? Today: Assessment of palpable and non-palpable breast abnormalities Conventional mammography - incl. supplemental views, mx-guided biopsy Ultrasonography - (Doppler imaging) - (Elastography) - US-guided biopsy MRI - incl. several sequences (T1, T2, CE-MRI, DWI) - MRI-guided biopsy

4 Tomorrow: Assessment of palpable and non-palpable breast abnormalities Mammography - incl. supplemental views, mx-guided biopsy - Advanced mammographic techniques: - Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) - Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) - Spectral imaging (mammography) Ultrasonography - Conventional B-mode - Doppler imaging plus advanced techniques MRI - incl. several sequences (T1, T2, CE-MRI, DWI) - «ABB-MRI» (screening?!) Isotope scanning (molecular breast imaging - PEM) Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) Computed tomography (dedicated breast CT) Fusion (hybrid) techniques (FDG-PET and others)

5 Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Overlapping structures (cancer) can hide in 2D, but are clearly seen in a DBT (3D) slice DBT System by Manufacturer Scan angle Range, º Pixel size Range, µ Projections Range, 9-25 Scan time Range, 4-25 s Tube motion - Step-and-shoot - Continuous Preibsch H: Radiologe 2015;55:59-69 Reconstruct.

19 Sensitivity The «gold standard» of breast cancer screening today is conventional Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) Conventional mammography has two serious inherent limitations: 1. Low sensitivity (cancer detection rate) in women with dense breast parenchyma due to superimposed tissue ( masking effect ) Mammography: Sensitivity (%) and breast density I II II IV BI - RADS Density BI-RADS (ACR) density category Low specificity (false positive interpretations) due to summation of normal parenchyma ( pseudotumors ) Breast cancer screening in the future might require a better diagnostic test!

20 Breast MRI: The highest sensitivity for breast cancer Screening: CE: Lump + (?) MX neg / US neg / FNAC neg Multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC)

21 Acquisition time of «Abb-MRI» (and «Short first-pass MRI» of the breast) is only about 3 to 4 minutes and reading time for MIP images very short Hall FH The Rise and Impending Decline of Screening Mammography Radiology 2008; 247: : I believe that mammography is going to be replaced by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, not only in high-risk women but increasingly in those at average risk. However: Two main challenges (problems) regarding implementation of «ABB-MRI» for women at average risk in population-based screening remain: 1.Costs 2.Availability

22 Tomosynthesis (DBT) in breast cancer screening: Pros and «Cons» A) DBT pros: Reduced summation simulating masses («pseudotumors») (i.e., increased specificity and lower recall rates) Replacement of supplemental views for non-calcified lesions (i.e., increased specificity and lower recall rates) Increased cancer conspicuity and visibility (i.e., increased cancer detection rates) B) DBT cons («challenges»): One- vs. two-view DBT, radiation dose, and synthetic 2D Microcalcifications: syn2d and DBT vs. FFDM The (very) dense breast Lesions seen only on DBT («tomo-only lesions») Increased work-load / interpretation time Overdiagnosis («length-time bias») Cost-effectiveness

23 DBT pros: Increased specificity (reduced recall rate) Lcc: Syn2D Lcc: DBT? Indeterminate / suspicious finding on FFDM A) Excluding the presence of a mass B) Confirming the presence of a benign mass Circumscribed mass: Cyst or tumor? Ultrasound!

24 DBT pros in breast cancer screening: Replacement of supplementary mammographic views for non-calcified lesions Lcc: FFDM (2D) Assessment: Lcc 1. and 2. cone-mag views?? Lcc: 3D (Tomo)? OTST: IDC G2, 4.5 mm

25 DBT pros: Increased cancer conspicuity and visibility (i.e., increased sensitivity) a) Increased cancer conspicuity FFDM R mlo TOMO R mlo Tubular carcinoma 6 mm b) Increased cancer visibility FFDM R cc TOMO R cc IDC G2, 14mm (+ DCIS G3, 24 mm)

31 DBT screening: Do we need 2D? DBT challenge: One- vs. two-view DBT, radiation dose, and synthetic 2D Images to be included: One view TOMO (mlo) only? One view TOMO + one view 2D? One view TOMO + two view 2D? Two view TOMO only? Two view TOMO + one view 2D? Two view TOMO + two view 2D? Why do we need 2D (+ TOMO): 2D maximize mc detection? (TOMO: Thin-slice-effect ) Comparison with prior exams Comparison right-left breast Externals may request current 2D Experience from clinical studies : Two view 2D (FFDM: MLO + CC) plus two view TOMO (MLO + CC) seems to offer highest clinical performance. However: This means a double radiation dose! Synthetic 2D may substitute for FFDM images (when combined with tomosynthesis) without additional radiation dose!!

36 «Overdiagnosis» is an epidemiological concept! Acad Radiol 2015;22:961 «The recent development of tomosynthesis has increased breast cancer detection while reducing false recalls. Because the greatest harm of overdiagnosis is overtreatment, the key goal should not be less diagnosis but better treatment decision tools»

37 Tomosynthesis screening: «Cost-effectiveness studies «Studies confirm that DBT-screening is cost-effective compared with 2D alone BUT: Differences between countries (recalls, work-up, reimbursement etc.); i.e.; Each program (country) needs its own analysis! Of most importance for healthcare providers and policymakers

38 Challenge: Optimize balance between benefit and harms of BC screening: Improving benefits while reducing harms of breast cancer screening might require moving from «one-size-fits-all» mammography paradigm to a «personalized» (individualized) multimodality approach (strategy) Today: «One-size-fits-all» Two-view mammography screening for all Tomorrow: «Personalized screening» Based on: Age Breast density Risk models Supplemental imaging techniques / modalities But: Is «personalized» high-volume (population-based) screening possible??

39 Today Tomorrow? Gold standard Alternatives for supplemental screening Digital Breast Tomosynthesis has the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional mammography (low specificity and low sensitivity in dense breasts) DBT: The best solution for personalized high-volume (population-based) screening!

40 Potential improvements of breast cancer screening for women with dense breasts New techniques / modalities Tomosynthesis US SFM MRI CESM Short first-pass MRI: MIP acquired in 4:35 min FFDM CT PET Tomo High(er) cost Implementation: Low(er) cost - New equipment (not CESM) - Existing equipment - More manpower - Existing manpower - Re-organization - Existing program Thank you very much for your time! DBT: A better mammogram!
