Abstract
- We compared the performance characteristics of 297,629 full field digital (FFDM) and 416,791 screen film mammograms (SFM). Sensitivity increased with age, decreased with breast density, and was lower for more aggressive and lobular tumors. While sensitivity did not differ significantly by modality, specificity was generally 1–2 percentage points higher for FFDM than for SFM across age and breast density categories. The lower recall rate for FFDM vs. SFM in our study may partially explain performance differences by modality. In this large healthcare organization, modest gains in performance were achieved with the introduction of FFDM as a replacement for SFM.
