Can stereo mammography reduce recall from screening mammography while maintaining sensitivity?
Significance: May be able to dramatically reduce recalls without sacrificing cancer detection

An Evaluation of Stereoscopic Digital Mammography for Earlier Detection of Breast Cancer and Reduced Rate of Recall
Radiology: Carl D'Orsi, MD
The on-going study comparing stereo digital mammography to 2D digital mammography has evaluated 1,000 women to-date. The results are showing that there has been a 38% decrease in false positive detection of lesions and a 14% increase in true positive detections of lesions with stereo mammography.
