Brief summary

Tomosynthesis is an innovative technique developed in digital mammography for obtaining a sectional image of the breast. Mammography has the main disadvantage of being an imaging projection that creates overlays, which eliminates tomosynthesis. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the BI-RADS classification obtained by tomosynthesis with synthetic mammography is superior to that obtained by conventional mammography in terms of specificity while not inferior in terms of sensitivity.

Inclusion criteria

* Patient having clinical or breast imaging abnormalities classified as BiRads 3, 4, 5 (Table 1). (5) * Patient over 18 years old * Signed informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Patients at high risk of breast cancer, mutations BRCA 1 (BReast CAncer gene 1) or BRCA 2 (BReast CAncer gene 2) carriers, Li Fraumeni, or history of thoracic radiation will be excluded because of their greater sensitivity to ionizing radiation. * Patient unable to give informed consent for physical, mental, or legal reasons. * Patient not affiliated with French Social Security Insurance. * Patient under treatment for breast cancer. * When mammography is not recommended according to good practice by the French Health Authority (HAS). * Pregnant patient.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Breast Imaging-Reporting And Data System (BI-RADS) scaleDay 1The primary evaluation parameter will be the classification error of tumors according to the BiRads scale obtained by mammography (BiRadsM) and by tomosynthesis (BiRadsT) according to the gold standard.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of additional examinationsDay 30Needs for supplementary breast imaging exams and biopsies
The number of ultrasound examsDay 30
Total radiation doseDay 30
Criteria for a poor prognosisDay 1The visibility (presence or absence) of signs of poor prognosis criteria. We will compare the visibility of poor prognosis criteria seen on mammography + ultrasound and seen on tomosynthesis with synthetic mammography + ultrasound.
Agreement between readersDay 1The reproducibility of the interpretation of tomosynthesis will be assessed with differences of classifications BiRadsT observed between the two radiologists
Cumulative incidence of Breast cancer diagnosisMonth 24Cumulative incidence of Breast cancer diagnosis among women with benign at after primary evaluation
Cost of the diagnostic strategiesDay 30
