The bibliographic search produced 443 results; two independent reviewers (G.P. and F.F. with more than 25 and 11 years of experience in urogenital radiology, respectively) screened the initial search results on the basis of titles and abstracts.
The two radiology units began screening activities with SFM (SSH 140 A; Toshiba and Bennett, Trex Medical, Copiague, NY. Film: Mamoray-HT, AGFA, Greenville, SC) in 1995 and 1999, respectively, and shifted to FFDM (DM 1000 Agfa; Lorad, Danbury, Conn) in 2007 and 2004, respectively.
This criticism has been raised during the 1990s, when two large multicenter randomized prospective trials, accounting each for about 1000 patients, showed that patients subjected only to periodic clinical visit and mammography showed the same outcome respect to those following an intense regimen including radiology and biomarkers screening [ 65, 66].
It increases substantially if it replaces radiology at routine medical examination, reflecting the relatively high and unusually low sensitivity of Xpert MTB/RIF and radiological screening, respectively, in gold miners.
