DBT screening included DBT acquisitions with synthesized 2D-images. A historical cohort of women who attended the program (January 2013-October 2014) and received digital mammography (DM) provided a comparison group. Independent double-reading (with a third arbitrating read for discordance) was used for DBT and DM screening. Screening outcomes included cancer detection rate (CDBreast (Edinburgh, Scotland)Effect of implementing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) instead of mammography on population screening outcomes including interval cancer rates: Results of the Trento DBT pilot evaluation.PMC7375541LF-16-001Gentilini MAPellegrini MSabatino VLuparia ABernardi DHoussami NDe Nisi MFanto CValentini MfalseEffect of implementing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) instead of mammography on population screening outcomes including interval cancer rates: Results of the Trento DBT pilot evaluation.<h4>Background/aim</h4>The Trento screening program transitioned to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening based on evidence that DBT improves breast cancer (BC) detection compared to mammography; an evaluation of the transition to DBT is reported in this pilot study.<h4>Methods</h4>Prospective implementation of DBT screening included women aged ≥50 years who attended the Trento program for biennial screening.
