The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of a computer-aided detection (CAD) system in full-field digital mammography (Senographe 2000D, General Electric, Buc, France) in finding out carcinomas depending on the parenchymal density. A total of 226 mediolateral oblique (MLO) and 186 craniocaudal (CC) mammographic views of histologically proven cancers were retrospectively evaluated with a digital CAD system (ImageChecker V2.3 R2 Technology, Los Altos, CA, USA). Malignant tumors were detected correctly by CAD in MLO view in 84.85% in breasts with parenchymal tissue density of the American College of Radiology (ACR) type 1, in 70.33% of the ACR type 2, in 68.12% of the ACR type 3, and in 69.70% of the ACR type 4. For the CC view, similar results were found according to the ACR types. Using the chi-square and McNemar tests, there was no statistical significance. However, a trend of better detection could be seen with decreasing ACR type. In conclusion, there seems to be a tendency for breast tissue density to affect the detection rate of breast cancer when using the CAD system.
本研究的目的是评估计算机辅助检测(CAD)系统在全视野数字乳腺摄影(法国通用电气公司生产的Senographe 2000D)中根据乳腺实质密度检测癌症的性能。使用数字CAD系统(美国加利福尼亚州洛斯阿尔托斯市的ImageChecker V2.3 R2 Technology)对226例经组织学证实的癌症的内外侧斜位(MLO)和186例头尾位(CC)乳腺钼靶图像进行回顾性评估。在MLO位,CAD对美国放射学会(ACR)1型乳腺实质组织密度的乳房中84.85%的恶性肿瘤检测正确,对ACR 2型的检测正确率为70.33%,对ACR 3型的为68.12%,对ACR 4型的为69.70%。对于CC位,根据ACR类型也发现了类似结果。使用卡方检验和McNemar检验,无统计学意义。然而,随着ACR类型降低,可观察到更好的检测趋势。总之,使用CAD系统时,乳腺组织密度似乎有影响乳腺癌检测率的趋势。
