Conclusion:
MR imaging-guided breast biopsy was canceled due to lesion nonvisualization in 8% of the patients. Although the cancer detection rate among the lesions for which biopsy was canceled is low (95% CI: 0%, 9%), short-term follow-up MR imaging is prudent.

Effect of Transition to Digital Mammography on Clinical Outcomes [Breast Imaging]
Conclusion:
Recall rate and cancer detection rate increase for at least 2 years after the transition to digital screening mammography. PPV3 is significantly reduced after digital transition, primarily in patients with microcalcifications.

Dedicated Dual-Head Gamma Imaging for Breast Cancer Screening in Women with Mammographically Dense Breasts [Breast Imaging]
Conclusion:
Addition of gamma imaging to mammography significantly increased detection of node-negative breast cancer in dense breasts by 7.5 per 1000 women screened (95% CI: 3.6, 15.4). To be clinically important, gamma imaging will need to show equivalent performance at decreased radiation doses.
