OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association between clinical image quality and breast cancer occurrence within 24 months of a negative mammogram. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified women with breast cancer who were younger than 40 years old and older and screened from January 1, 1988, through December 31, 1993. We retrospectively assigned Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) assessments to their screening mammogram. We classified cancers (invasive or ductal in situ) as "screen…

Mammography Clinical Image Quality and the False Positive Rate in a Canadian Breast Cancer Screening Program
Clinical Image Quality in Daily Practice of Breast Cancer Mammography Screening
Mammogram image quality as a potential contributor to disparities in breast cancer stage at diagnosis: an observational study
TLDR
Considerable gains could be made in terms of increasing image quality through better positioning, compression and sharpness, gains that could impact subsequent stage at diagnosis.
Clinical Image Quality and Sensitivity in an Organized Mammography Screening Program
Mammographic Technique from Mammography
TLDR
In case of large breast with compressed breast thickness more than 6 centimeter, increased radiation dose can be reduced by increase kV from 27 to 30 kV or change filter from molybdenum to rhodium in Auto kV system.

Mammographic screening for non-palpable breast cancer in Japan
TLDR
In Japan, mammography was endorsed for breast cancer screening in women aged 40 and over by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in 2004 and it is expected that mammographie screening will be expanded and the mortality rate from breast cancer in Japan will decrease, as in Europe and the United States.
How reassuring is a normal breast ultrasound in assessment of a screen-detected mammographic abnormality? A review of interval cancers after assessment that included ultrasound evaluation.

Discovery of Breast Cancers Within 1 Year of a Normal Screening Mammogram: How Are They Found?
TLDR
Women at highest risk for breast cancer may need closer surveillance by their primary care clinicians and may benefit from a strong educational message to come for a visit as soon as they find a lump.

Because a "negative" mammogram that is followed by a biopsy diagnostic of cancer is a matter of deep concern, a retrospective review was conducted of 48 such missed diagnoses at four Breast Cancer…
Breast density as a predictor of mammographic detection: comparison of interval- and screen-detected cancers.
TLDR
Mammographic breast density appears to be a major risk factor for interval cancer in women participating in mammographic screening from 1988 through 1993.
Breast tumor characteristics as predictors of mammographic detection: comparison of interval- and screen-detected cancers.
TLDR
It is indicated that screening mammography may miss tumors of lobular or mucinous histology and some rapidly proliferating, high-grade tumors.

TLDR
In conclusion, implementing a system of automated reminders was not sufficient to maximize mammography use in a population, and reductions in late-stage disease occurred among women ages > or = 50, even when regular" was not synonymous with "annual.
Effect of age, breast density, and family history on the sensitivity of first screening mammography.
TLDR
The sensitivity of modern mammography is highest among women aged 50 years and older who have primarily fatty breast density and particularly low when the time between screenings is about 2 years or when women have a family history of breast cancer.
Analysis of cancers missed at screening mammography.
TLDR
Analysis of 320 cancers found in a screened population between August 1985 and May 1990 revealed 77 cancers that were "missed" at screening mammography, which occurred in women with denser breasts, were less likely to demonstrate malignant microcalcifications, and were more likely to demonstrating a developing opacity as an indication of cancer.
Case-control study of factors associated with failure to detect breast cancer by mammography.
TLDR
The results indicate that biologic factors are associated with failure to detect some breast cancers by mammography and indicate directions for future research in breast imaging.
Canadian National Breast Screening Study: assessment of technical quality by external review.
TLDR
A retrospective review of NBSS mammography by three external reviewers confirmed that technical quality improved from 1980 to 1987, and was associated with improved technology (film, processing, and units) and with the quality assurance programs operating during the NBSs, which identified problems and offered remedies.
Interval carcinomas in the Malmö Mammographic Screening Trial: radiographic appearance and prognostic considerations.
TLDR
Interval carcinomas in this series were dominated by comedo, medullary, and mucinous carcinomas that often had a nonspecific appearance on prior screening mammograms and contained a subset of rapidly growing tumors with a grave prognosis.
