Key Points Question Is there a difference between screening with digital breast tomosynthesis vs digital mammography in the probability of false-positive results after 10 years of screening? Findings In this comparative effectiveness study of 903 495 individuals undergoing 2 969 055 screening examinations, the 10-year cumulative probability of receiving at least 1 false-positive recall was 6.7% lower for tomosynthesis vs digital mammography with annual screening and 2.4% lower for tomosynthesis vs digital mammography with biennial screening, a significant difference. Meaning The findings of this study suggest that digital breast tomosynthesis is associated with a lower cumulative probability of false-positive results compared with digital mammography; biennial vs annual screening was associated with larger reductions in cumulative false-positive risk for both modalities.
