• Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer. (2004, background): “Several studies (3,30) have shown decreased mammographic sensitivity in younger women, even after correcting for breast density.”
• Detecting and classifying lesions in mammograms with Deep Learning (2017, background): “The sensitivity of screening mammography is reported to be between 8090% [35, 9, 42, 37, 28, 27, 15, 32, 17, 2, 11].”
• Limitations of the odds ratio in gauging the performance of a diagnostic, prognostic, or screening marker. (2004, background): “For example, higher breast density makes mammographic readings less accurate (21).”
• Influence of estrogen plus progestin on breast cancer and mammography in healthy postmenopausal women: the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Trial. (2003, background): “Prior reports of menopausal hormone therapy influence on mammographic interpretation have been mixed, varying from no effect to substantial negative influence.(13,15) Our literature review found no prior large randomized trials with comprehensive serial mammographic assessment reporting the effects ”
