Note.- *Data in parentheses were used to calculated percentages. Optimal cut-off, between Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 3 and 4A was used to yield maximal sum of sensitivity and specificity in both modality, CI = confidence interval for difference between DBT and US. DBT = digital breast tomosynthesis, US = ultrasound
