Factors affecting Lesion Visibility on DBT
- Analysis on 106 non calcified T1 stage invasive
cancers
– Median size: 0.8cm (range 0.4 - 2cm) – IDC (n=97), ILC (n=5), others (n=4) – ER positive tumors (n=86, 81.1%), HER2-enriched (n=10, 9.4%), TN (n=10, 9.4%)
- Visibility score assessment by 2 radiologists
- Factors affecting visibility scores
- Diagnostic performance evaluation according to
the factors affecting visibility scores using normal control data
