Breast cancer Ki-67 expression prediction by digital breast tomosynthesis radiomics features
Published 2019The aim of this paper was to investigate whether quantitative radiomic features extracted from digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) are associated with Ki-67 expression of breast cancer. This was a prospective ethically ...Open AccessArticle -
Pathways to breast cancer screening artificial intelligence algorithm validation
Published 2020As more artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced mammography screening tools enter the clinical market, greater focus will be placed on external validation in diverse patient populations. In this viewpoint, we outline lessons ...Open AccessArticle -
Effect of implementing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) instead of mammography on population screening outcomes including interval cancer rates: Results of the Trento DBT pilot evaluation
Published 2020The Trento screening program transitioned to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening based on evidence that DBT improves breast cancer (BC) detection compared to mammography; an evaluation of the transition to DBT is ...Open AccessArticle -
Lesions of uncertain malignant potential of the breast (B3) on vacuum-assisted biopsy for microcalcifications: Predictors of malignancy
Published 2020To investigate clinical, radiologic and pathologic features of B3 lesions diagnosed on VABB targeting microcalcifications, for identifying predictors of malignancy. This retrospective multi-centre study included consecutive ...Article -
Mammographic sensitivity as a function of tumor size: A novelestimation based on population-based screening data.
Published 2021Instead of a single value for mammographic sensitivity, a sensitivity function based on tumor size more realistically reflects mammography’s detection capability. Because previous models may have overestimated size-specific ...Open AccessArticle
