Racial Disparity in mamographic screening utilization
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in conjunction with digital mammography (DM) is becoming the preferred imaging modality for breast cancer screening compared with DM alone on the basis of improved recall rates and cancer detection rates. The goal of a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) was to investigate racial differences in the utilization and performance of screening modality.
Retrospective data from 63 US breast imaging facilities from 2015 to 2019 were reviewed. Screening outcomes were linked to cancer registries. Recall rates, cancer detection rates per 1,000 examinations, and positive predictive value for recall (cancers/recalled patients) were compared.
