Abstract
We report on a clinical trial comparing stereoscopic full-field digital mammography to standard (non-stereo) full-field digital mammography for detection of true breast lesions in a screening population. Each of 1458 enrolled patients received both a standard screening examination and a stereoscopic screening examination, which were read independently by different radiologists. Compared to standard digital mammography, stereo mammography significantly reduced false positive lesion detections by 46% (p< 0.0001), and significantly increased true positive lesion detections by 23% (p< 0.05).
