TN: true negative, FP: false positive, TP: true positive, FN: false negative.

Costs of cancer treatment per month, cancer stage and treatment phase.

Twenty-year cumulative results on health and validation outcomes, according to type of mammogram.
Figure 2.
Differences in cost between screen-film and digital mammography, by type of cost and year. Positive differences indicate cost savings with digital mammography.
Table 3.
Budget impact analysis of digital mammography compared with screen-film mammography.
Figure 3.
DM better (n = 921 runs): Digital mammography higher detection rate and lower recall rate, or digital higher detection rate and similar recall rate, or digital lower recall rate and similar detection rate. SFM better (n = 469 runs): Screen-film mammography higher detection rate and lower recall rate, or SFM higher detection rate and similar recall rate, or SFM lower recall rate and similar detection rate. Intermediate scenario (n = 610 runs, not shown): Digital higher detection rate and SFM lower recall rate, or digital lower recall rate and SFM higher detection rate, or both similar detection and recall rates. CI: Confidence Interval.
