a

Values shown in parentheses were used in sensitivity analyses.

b

In the study by Chiarelli et al,9 all women received MMG and MRI performed concurrently, and sensitivity calculations for each modality included cancers detected by the other modality as false-negative screenings. The models were therefore calibrated with MMG and MRI performed concurrently, adjusting the individual performance of each modality until the model output matched the observed data.

c

Age-specific MMG sensitivity was derived from the overall sensitivity reported in the study by Chiarelli et al,9 by adjusting for differences in breast density by age based on data from the BCSC.

d

Specificity of MMG and MMG plus MRI were adjusted by decreasing false-positive screenings due to MMG by 15%.
