Part of these results contributed to the assessment of the safety and effectiveness of 2-view 50° wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plus synthetic mammograms for breast cancer screening and diagnosis in the United States. 2 MAMMOMAT Revelation with Tomosynthesis Option · White paper Rationale, objective and study design Siemens Healthineers has been the first vendor that Insight 2D is reconstructed from a DBT data set using received FDA approval for the use of 2-view DBT alone special algorithms. The soft tissue contrast in the in breast cancer screening [2]. Although 2-view wide- synthetic mammograms has been optimized so that angle DBT has been proven to have a superior diagnostic the overall image impression of Insight 2D1 is very accuracy as compared to 2-view full-field digital similar to FFDM (see Figure 1). mammography (FFDM) alone [3,4], additional 2D mammograms are often acquired in clinical practice The primary objective of this MRMC reader study was that serve as overview images and enable comparison to demonstrate the superiority of 50° wide-angle DBT with prior 2D mammograms. Unfortunately, combining plus synthetic mammograms in terms of the diagnostic DBT and FFDM results in a longer acquisition and breast accuracy in detecting and characterizing breast lesions compression time for the patient. More importantly, as compared to FFDM alone. FFDM as an adjunct to DBT generates a higher radiation dose. To overcome these challenges, the so-called 2D synthetic mammogram (Insight 2D) was developed. a b c d Insight 2D Study ID 1aab084 Study ID 1aab096 Study ID 1aab070 Study ID 1aab077 FFDM Figure 1: Comparison of Insight 2D and FFDM for different breast densities 1 Software version VC20 or higher 3 White paper · MAMMOMAT Revelation with Tomosynthesis Option Library of images MRMC study population This study is based on a library of images specifically A subset of cases was randomly selected from the library collected for this and previous DBT PMA studies. A total of images (Table 1). Specific mammographic features like of 764 subjects (54.9 ± 9.8 years) were enrolled between breast density and lesion type were included in order to May 2011 and April 2014 from seven United States obtain a distribution of cases similar to that seen in a clinical sites: screening population. • Duke University, Durham, NC; Table 1: Subject characteristics • SUNY, Stonybrook, NY; • Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA; PICKS • Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH; vs. • NYU, New York, NY; • St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, Houston, TX; and 2-view DBT + Insight 2D 2-view FFDM • Miami Baptist Hospital, Miami, FL.

All readers were trained to read Siemens Healthineers wide-angle DBT + synthetic mammograms. Each reader participated in two reading sessions separated by a wash-out period of at least 6 weeks. During each reading session, half of the cases were interpreted using FFDM alone (MLO and CC). The other half of the cases were interpreted using DBT (CC and MLO) + Insight 2D (CC and MLO). After the wash-out period, the readers interpreted the opposite modality for each case. Cases were randomized to be read with either FFDM or DBT + Insight 2D first and the reading order within each group was randomly assigned. Readers assigned a screening BI-RADS score to each breast (0, 1, or 2). Readers were also asked to identify all suspicious lesions and assign a probability of malignancy score to each. 5 White paper · MAMMOMAT Revelation with Tomosynthesis Option MRMC study results Significant improvement in 1.00 diagnostic accuracy Table 2 summarizes the main results that were observed 0.75 in terms of diagnostic accuracy.

The MRMC study demonstrated a superior diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and a reduced non- cancer recall rate using Siemens Healthineers’ 50° wide-angle DBT plus Insight 2D as compared to FFDM alone. These results provide evidence that Siemens Healthineers’ 50° wide-angle DBT plus Insight 2D can be used with a high level of confidence in breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
