DBT, digital breast tomosynthesis; FFDM, full-field digital mammography.

Note.—Data in parentheses are the raw figures from which the percentages were calculated.

a

84 tumour cases and 126 negative controls.

b

22 tumour cases and 33 negative controls.

c

P-values were obtained by the Mcnemar test. P-value <0.050 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
