Simple screening mammography has only moderate sensitivity. In the so-called DMIST study, sensitivity was only about 40% in women with very dense breast tissue (Pisano et al. 2005). There are several reasons for the poor sensitivity of mammography when used as a stand- alone technique. First, a focal lesion depicted on a mammogram is often difficult to characterize. Since it is not possible to definitely characterize all inconclusive focal breast lesions by additional diagnostic procedures, the radiologist has to use a set of... [Pg.199]
