Study summary

This prospective study aims to compare combined breast ultrasound (US) and digital mammography (DM) with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in the evaluation and reclassification of BI-RADS 3 (probably benign) breast lesions. The study will include 30 female patients with non-calcified breast lesions initially classified as BI-RADS 3 on digital mammography. Patients will undergo complementary targeted breast ultrasound and DBT. The imaging findings will be assessed separately and then integrated to determine the final BI-RADS classification. The study will evaluate whether DBT and combined US with DM can improve characterization and reclassification of BI-RADS 3 lesions, potentially reducing unnecessary short-interval follow-up while identifying lesions requiring further assessment.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. \- Radiological classification: Patients with at least one non-calcified breast lesion initially classified as BI-RADS 3 (probably benign) on standard 2D digital mammography. 2. \- Breast density: Patients with breast densities B, C, or D are eligible, with particular consideration of dense breasts (C and D). Exclusion Criteria: * Suspicious imaging features: Patients with any lesion demonstrating BI-RADS 4 or 5 characteristics, including spiculated margins, fine linear branching calcifications, or architectural distortion.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Change in BI-RADS classification of breast lesions — through study completion, an average of 1 year
    The proportion of initially BI-RADS 3 breast lesions that are reclassified following assessment with digital breast tomosynthesis and complementary breast ultrasound, including downgrading to BI-RADS 2 or upgrading to a higher BI-RADS category based on imaging findings.
