      Hovda, Tone; Larsen, Marthe; Romundstad, Linda; Sahlberg, Guro Kristine Kleivi; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-03)
      Purpose - To investigate radiologists’ interpretation scores of screening mammograms prior to diagnosis of screen-detected and interval breast cancers retrospectively classified as missed or true negative.<p> <p>Methods - We included data on radiologists’ interpretation scores at screening prior to diagnosis for 1223 screen-detected and 1007 interval cancer cases classified as missed or true ...
    • Early performance measures following regular versus irregular screening attendance in the population-based screening program for breast cancer in Norway 

      Thy, Jonas Evensen; Larsen, Marthe; Vigeland, Einar; Koch, Henrik Wethe; Hovda, Tone; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-11)
      Irregular attendance in breast cancer screening has been associated with higher breast cancer mortality compared to regular attendance. Early performance measures of a screening program following regular versus irregular screening attendance have been less studied. We aimed to investigate early performance measures following regular versus irregular screening attendance. Methods We used information ...
    • Norwegian radiologists’ expectations of artificial intelligence in mammographic screening – A cross-sectional survey 

      Martiniussen, Marit Almenning; Larsen, Marthe; Larsen, Anne Sofie Frøyshov; Hovda, Tone; Koch, Henrik Wethe; Bjørnerud, Atle; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-23)
      Purpose: To explore Norwegian breast radiologists’ expectations of adding artificial intelligence (AI) in the interpretation procedure of screening mammograms.<p> <p>Methods: All breast radiologists involved in interpretation of screening mammograms in BreastScreen Norway during 2021 and 2022 (n = 98) were invited to take part in this anonymous cross-sectional survey about use of AI in mammographic ...
    • Screen-detected and interval breast cancer after concordant and discordant interpretations in a population based screening program using independent double reading 

      Martiniussen, Marit Almenning; Sagstad, Silje; Larsen, Marthe; Larsen, Anne Sofie Frøyshov; Hovda, Tone; Lee, Christoph I.; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-02)
      Objectives - To analyze rates, odds ratios (OR), and characteristics of screen-detected and interval cancers after concordant and discordant initial interpretations and consensus in a population-based screening program.<p> <p>Methods - Data were extracted from the Cancer Registry of Norway for 487,118 women who participated in BreastScreen Norway, 2006–2017, with 2 years of follow-up. All mammograms ...
    • Screening outcome for interpretation by the first and second reader in a population-based mammographic screening program with independent double reading 

      Hovda, Tone; Sagstad, Silje; Larsen, Marthe; Chen, Yan; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-28)
      Background - Double reading of screening mammograms is associated with a higher rate of screen-detected cancer than single reading, but different strategies exist regarding reader pairing and blinding. Knowledge about these aspects is important when considering strategies for future use of artificial intelligence in mammographic screening.<p> <p>Purpose - To investigate screening outcome, ...
