Clinical
How can MammoScreen® 2D&3D help radiologists in their daily practice? Therapixel conducted an in-depth study* to understand and quantify the clinical benefits for both the radiologist and the practice. This study was conducted using version 1.0 of the MammoScreen® software (2D only), which has since been upgraded to 2.0 to include 3D use. This new version includes improved 2D&3D algorithms which further increase MammoScreen®’s overall performance.
Clinical Performance
Increase reader confidence
Rendering a diagnosis on your own can be very stressful. The use of MammoScreen® as a concurrent reader during the clinical evaluation increases reader confidence by as much as 53% by categorizing the level of suspicion for both low and high suspicion cases. The study results confirmed that when radiologists evaluated cases that had a high level of suspicion, MammoScreen®’s assessments helped them increase their level of suspicion 41% of the time. Conversely, when evaluating cases with a low level of suspicion, the radiologists’ level of suspicion was lowered 53% of the time.
Improve detection
MammoScreen® helps radiologists in interpreting difficult cases and detect more cancers. The tomosynthesis study** concluded that using MammoScreen® 3D reduced the false-negative rate by up to 47%, without affecting the radiologists’ specificity.
Reduce inter-reader variability
In addition to improving the individual's performance, the tomosynthesis study** showed that the use of MammoScreen® 3D decreases the inter-reader variability. It revealed that the intraclass correlation coefficient, which assessed the agreement between radiologists, significantly increased.
Improve efficiency
MammoScreen® 3D decreases reading time; the tomosynthesis study** demonstrated a reduction of up to 35% overall.
The most important decrease in reading time was for cases categorized by MammoScreen® as low suspicion (scores from 1 to 4), which can represent up to 75% of your screening population, for which radiologists felt more confident that the cases were benign.
