Study summary

The purpose of this image acquisition study is to compare, in a Reader Study, the performance of Tomosynthesis (3D) to (2D FFDM) conventional images in an enriched retrospective reader study. Synthetic 2D images, generated from the tomosynthesis image, will be available to the readers to provide an over view of the anatomy similar to a scout view in CT imaging and to determine whether the 3-D images with the synthesized 2D overview are non-inferior to the 2-D images alone as determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female
  • Any ethnic origin
  • No of routine bilateral mammography

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any to mammographic screening, including but not limited to:
  • Significant existing breast trauma
  • Pregnancy
  • Lactating
  • Previous surgical
  • Previous breast cancer
  • Placement of an internal breast marker
  • Breast implants
  • Unable to understand and execute written
  • Breasts are too large to be imaged on the 24 cm by 29 cm detector with a single exposure
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    Subjects undergoing breast cancer screening

    The study population included both women undergoing routing annual mammography imaging and women undergoing a previously scheduled breast biopsy

    Device: Hologic Selenia Dimensions Digital Breast Tomosynthesis System

Interventions

  • DeviceHologic Selenia Dimensions Digital Breast Tomosynthesis System

    Subjects are exposed to the same number of investigational images collected on the investigational device (Selenia Dimensions Full Field Digital Mammography System). Subject enrollment occurs at the time subjects are being imaged for their standard of care mammographic work up (either screening mammogram or scheduled biopsy). All subjects undergoing a biopsy procedure will be imaged on the investigational device prior to their procedure.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To Demonstrate Non-inferior ROC Performance as Measured by the Area Under the Curve When Comparing 3-Ds Plus 3-D Images to the 2-D Images.

    ROC performance as measured by the area under the curve when comparing 3-Ds plus 3-D images to the 2-D images.

    Time frame: At time of exam

Secondary outcomes

  1. Analysis of ROC Performance in Subjects With Dense Breasts

    The radiologist's POM case based score will be used to generate the 2D FFDM and 3DS ROC curves for women with dense breasts (defined as BIRADS density score of 3 or 4). Endpoint Analysis - A multi-reader, multi-case ROC analysis will be used to compare 3DS to 2D FFDM. The areas under the curve (AUC) will be used to compare ROC performance. 3DS will be considered non-inferior to 2D FFDM if the lower limit one-sided 95% CI for the difference in AUCs (3DS minus 2D FFDM) is greater than -0.05. A difference of 0.05 is considered a clinically significant difference.

    Time frame: At time of exam

  2. Analysis of Non-Cancer Recall Rate: 3DS Compared to 2D FFDM

    The non-cancer recall rate was measured for 3DS and 2D FFDM

Baseline characteristics

The population for this study was women undergoing breast cancer screening including those undergoing a screen mammogram or scheduled for a biopsy procedure. The arms/groups are combined for analysis- as analysis as centered on women undergoing breast cancer screening in general and not the clinical path which made the women eligible for the study.

The record gives a start of Sep 2009, a primary completion of Sep 2011 and a completion of Apr 2012. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Feb 2025, 13 years 5 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 26, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
