Implementation of an automated breast ultrasound system in an academic radiology department: Lesson learned in the first three years
Purpose
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of an ABUS in an academic radiology department over the first three years after its implementation.
Methods
In this retrospective study women undergoing ABUS examination for screening and diagnostic purposes between October 2015–2018 were included in case of sufficient follow-up and established diagnosis. Women underwent ABUS + /- mammography in the same day. BI-RADS 1/ 2 cases with cancer diagnosis during follow-up and already visible in the previous exam were considered false negative (FN). BI-RADS 3/4 cases proved benign were considered false positive (FP). FP and number of additional targeted HHUS (addHHUS) were compared over the three years.
Results
1248 women (51.2 ± 11.2 years) were included: 956 (77.3 %) underwent ABUS+mammography; 283 (29.3 %) ABUS only. Mean follow-up ± SD was 53.5 ± 17.8 month. Thirty-three malignancies were present in the investigated exams. In 28/ 33 cases (84.8 %), lesions were classified BI-RADS 4 or 5 and one (3.6 %) lesion was only visible in ABUS. 3/33 malignancies (9 %) were classified BI-RADS 3. 2/33 (6 %) were visible in mammography and ABUS but not recognized and classified BI-RADS 2 (FN rate 6.1 %). Retrospectively, both cases had “retraction phenomenon sign” in the coronal images. BI-RADS 3 and BI-RADS 4 without a malignancy were attributed to 172 (13.8 %) and 14 (1.1 %) cases, respectively corresponding to a FP rate of 15.3 %. The number of FP as well as the number of addHHUS significantly reduced over the three years (both p < 0.001).
Conclusions
After the implementation of an ABUS FP cases and addHHUS reduce over the time.
