Retrospectively compare interpretive performance of synthetically reconstructed two-dimensional images in combination with DBT versus FFDM plus DBT. Ten radiologists trained in reading tomosynthesis examinations interpreted retrospectively, under two modes, 114 mammograms. One mode included the directly acquired FFDM combined with DBT and the other, synthetically reconstructed projection images combined with DBT. The reconstructed images do not require additional radiation exposure. We compared the two modes with respect to “sensitivity”, namely recommendation to recall a breast with either a pathology proven cancer (n=48) or a high risk lesion (n=6); and “specificity”, namely no recommendation to recall a breast not depicting an abnormality (n=144) or depicting only benign abnormalities (n=30). The average sensitivity for FFDM with DBT was 0.826 versus 0.772 for synthetic FFDM with DBT (difference=0.054, p=0.017 and p=0.053 for fixed and random reader effect, respectively). The fraction of breasts with no, or benign, abnormalities recommended to be recalled were virtually the same: 0.298 and 0.297 for the two modalities, respectively (95% confidence intervals for the difference CI= −0.028, 0.036 and CI = −0.070, 0.066 for fixed and random reader effects, correspondingly). Sixteen additional clusters of micro-calcifications (“positive” breasts) were missed by all readers combined when interpreting the mode with synthesized images versus FFDM. Lower sensitivity with comparable specificity was observed with the tested version of synthetically generated images versus FFDM, both combined with DBT. Improved synthesized images with experimentally verified acceptable diagnostic quality will be needed to eliminate double exposure during DBT based screening.
