    Objective: We aimed to compare visual and quantitative measurements of breast density and to reveal the density profile with compression characteristics. Materials and Methods: Screening mammograms of 1399 women between May 2014 and May 2015 were evaluated by using Volpara 4th and 5th version. First 379 mammograms were assessed according to ACR BI-RODS 4th- edition and compared to Volpara. We categorized the breast density in two subgroups as dens or non-dens. Two radiologists reviewed the images in consensus. Agreement level between visual and volumetric methods and volumetric methods between themselves assessed using weighted kappa statistics. Volpara data such as fibroglandular volume (FGV), breast volume (BV), compression thickness (CT), compression force (CF), compression pressure (CP) were also analyzed with relation to the age. Results: 1399 mammograms were distributed as follows: 12.7\% VDG1, 39.3\% VDG2, 34.1\% VDG3, 13.9\% VDG4 according to the 4th edition of Volpara

    Diagnostic Performance of AI for Cancers Registered in A Mammography Screening Program: A Retrospective Analysis
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2022-01-01) Kizildag Yirgin, Inci; Koyluoglu, Yilmaz Onat; Seker, Mustafa Ege; Ozkan Gurdal, Sibel; Ozaydin, Ayse Nilufer; Ozcinar, Beyza; Cabioglu, Neslihan; Ozmen, Vahit; Aribal, Erkin
    Purpose: To evaluate the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm in a simulated screening setting and its effectiveness in detecting missed and interval cancers. Methods: Digital mammograms were collected from Bahcesehir Mammographic Screening Program which is the first organized, population-based, 10-year (2009-2019) screening program in Turkey. In total, 211 mammograms were extracted from the archive of the screening program in this retrospective study. One hundred ten of them were diagnosed as breast cancer (74 screen-detected, 27 interval, 9 missed), 101 of them were negative mammograms with a follow-up for at least 24 months. Cancer detection rates of radiologists in the screening program were compared with an AI system. Three different mammography assessment methods were used: (1) 2 radiologists' assessment at screening center, (2) AI assessment based on the established risk score threshold, (3) a hypothetical radiologist and AI team-up in which AI was considered to be the third reader. Results: Area under curve was 0.853 (95\% CI = 0.801-0.905) and the cut-off value for risk score was 34.5\% with a sensitivity of 72.8\% and a specificity of 88.3\% for AI cancer detection in ROC analysis. Cancer detection rates were 67.3\% for radiologists, 72.7\% for AI, and 83.6\% for radiologist and AI team-up. AI detected 72.7\% of all cancers on its own, of which 77.5\% were screen-detected, 15\% were interval cancers, and 7.5\% were missed cancers. Conclusion: AI may potentially enhance the capacity of breast cancer screening programs by increasing cancer detection rates and decreasing false-negative evaluations.

    Thoracic Scoliosis Screening in Adolescent Patients with Chest Radiographs
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Eksi, Murat Sakir; Eksi, Emel Ece Ozcan
    Aim: School scoliosis screening programs (SSSPs) are valuable and common tools to depict scoliosis prevalence and to take appropriate measures to prevent scoliosis. Prevalence of small angle scoliosis (10-20 degrees) could be underestimated via SSSPs due to inter-rater variability of the physical examination after which possible candidates are sent to radiographic work-up. In this study, we aimed to detect the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis in adolescent patients via analysis of posteroanterior chest radiographs. Methods: Adolescent patients, who had been admitted for reasons other than spine and whose posteroanterior chest radiographs had been obtained, were included in the study. Demographics and chest radiographs were screened through picture archiving and communication system of the hospital. Results: Chest radiographs of 326 (163 female, 163 male) adolescents were evaluated (mean age: 15.54 +/- 2.12 years
