Table 2. Comparison of Our Results with an Acceptable Range of Mammography on BI-RADS 2013.

n=1727 US results Acceptable ranges of diagnostic mammography performance
Recall rate 5.8% (100/1727) 5-12%
Supplemental cancer detection yield per 1000 cases 4.6 ≥2.5
Sensitivity 88.9% (8/9) ≥75%
Specificity 94.6% (1626/1718) 88-95%
PPV1 8.0% (8/100) 3-8%
PPV2 28.0% (7/25) 20-40%
NPV 99.9% (1626/1627)
Tumors found-stage 0 or 1 75% (6/8)
Tumors found-minimal cancer* 62.5% (5/8) >50%
Node-negative invasive cancers 87.5% >80%

PPV, positive predictive values; NPV, negative predictive values; BI-RADS, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System.

*Minimal cancer is invasive cancer ≤1 cm or ductal carcinoma in situ.
