Primes¶
- Signal Detection Theory
- If the underlying read is poorly discriminating, that is a sensitivity problem — buy better imaging (tomosynthesis), train readers, add evidence — which moves to a better ROC.
This sourceDemonstrates that improved imaging modality raises diagnostic accuracy (a better ROC) in mammographic screening subgroups.

Shows a better imaging modality (digital vs film) raised ROC area in some subgroups; no tomosynthesis, reader training or added evidence.
“The overall diagnostic accuracy of digital and film mammography as a means of screening for breast cancer is similar, but digital mammography is more accurate in women under the age of 50 years, women with radiographically dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.”
- If the underlying read is poorly discriminating, that is a sensitivity problem — buy better imaging (tomosynthesis), train readers, add evidence — which moves to a better ROC.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
