Readers met regional quality assurance of 5,000+ mammograms per year with periodic audits of performance. | Dual independent | If either radiologist gave a score of 3 (probably benign) or higher the case was considered positive and recalled for investigation without consensus or arbitration | Population screening database, histology reports, hospital and population cancer registry |
Heindel, 2022 TOSYMA Good | Germany | DBT/sDM vs. DM | NR | Participated in all regular teaching courses for mammography screening program and having passed the yearly test of 50 screening case studies, a volume of at least 5,000 screening mammograms the year before participating in the study, readers regularly assessed with an emphasis on a comparable number of sets for DBT/sDM and DM images | Dual independent | In case of any suspicious abnormality, reading results were clarified with an arbitrator to decide whether women had to be recalled for further diagnostic tests | Cancer registries | ||
Pattacini, 2022 RETomo Good | Italy | DBT/DM (round 1), DM (round 2) vs. DM | 10 | 4 to 20 years.

Ohuchi, 2016 J-START | Japan | DM plus US vs. DM | NR | <1 for ultrasound training. Ultrasonography is performed by qualified physicians, laboratory technologists, clinical radiological technologists, or nurses having experience with breast ultrasonography and completed the breast ultrasonography training program. The technologists and the physicians involved in this trial are asked to finish 2-day, 16-hour education program for the standardization of ultrasound screening for breast cancer | Dual independent | Results of ultrasound were reassessed by physicians at the study sites, including radiologists and breast surgeons | Study database, postal survey, vital registry |
