Breast cancer detection across dense and non-dense breasts: Markers of diagnostic confidence and efficacy.
Background: The impact of radiologists' characteristics has become a major focus of recent research. However, the markers of diagnostic efficacy and confidence in dense and non-dense breasts are poorly understood.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the relationship between radiologists' characteristics and diagnostic performance across dense and non-dense breasts.
Materials and methods: Radiologists specialising in breast imaging (n = 128) who had 0.5-40 (13±10.6) years of experience reading mammograms were recruited. Participants independently interpreted a test set containing 60 digital mammograms (40 normal and 20 abnormal) with similarly distributed breast densities. Diagnostic performance measures were analysed via Jamovi software (version 1.6.22).
Results: In dense breasts, breast-imaging fellowship completion significantly improved specificity (p = 0.004), location sensitivity (p = 0.01) and the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (p = 0.03). Only participation in BreastScreen reading significantly improved all performance metrics: specificity (p = 0.04), sensitivity (p = 0.005), location sensitivity (p < 0.001) and AUC (p < 0.001). Reading > 100 mammograms weekly significantly improved sensitivity (p = 0.03), location sensitivity (p = 0.001), and AUC (p = 0.03).In non-dense breasts, breast fellowship completion significantly improved sensitivity (p = 0.02), location sensitivity (p = 0.04) and AUC (p = 0.002). Participation in BreastScreen reading and reading > 100 mammograms weekly significantly improved only sensitivity (p = 0.002 and p = 0.003, respectively) and location sensitivity (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion: Participating in screening programs, breast fellowships and reading > 100 mammograms weekly are important indicators of the diagnostic performance of radiologists across dense and non-dense breasts. In dense breasts, optimal performance resulted from participation in a breast screening program.
