7 Nomenclature Shorthand 2D FFDM 3D 2D plus 3D, Combo C-View, Synthesized 2D 3Ds, 3D plus C-View Definition Conventional digital mammography Tomosynthesis 2D digital mammogram and tomosynthesis images are acquired: currently approved tomosynthesis screening indication A projectional 2D image calculated from the 3D dataset. Does not require additional radiation exposure. Only tomosynthesis images are acquired, and a synthesized 2D image is created. Both are read together. This is the proposed new screening indication for use. 7

17 Current Intended Use Statement (The same clinical applications as the commercially available 2D and/or 3D system) The Hologic Selenia Dimensions system generates digital mammographic images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Selenia Dimensions (2D or 3D) system is intended for use in the same clinical applications as a 2D mammography system for screening mammograms. Specifically, the Selenia Dimensions system can be used to acquire 2D digital mammograms and 3D mammograms. 17

18 Current Intended Use Statement (cont.) (The same clinical applications as the commercially available 2D and/or 3D system) Each view in a screening examination will consist of: a 2D image set, or a 2D and 3D image set The Selenia Dimensions system may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast. 18

19 Proposed Intended Use Statement (cont.) (The same clinical applications as the commercially available 2D and/or 3D system) Each view in a screening examination will consist of: a 2D image set, or a 2D and 3D image set, or a 3D image set in combination with a synthesized 2D image The Selenia Dimensions system may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast. 19

20 Breast Tomosynthesis: Clinical Benefit Elizabeth A. Rafferty, M.D. Director, Breast Imaging Avon Comprehensive Breast Center Massachusetts General Hospital

21 Mammography Prompt annual mammography has shown the ability to reduce the mortality rate from breast cancer in a population by 15% to 50%. 1-3 As many as 20% of breast cancers will be missed by mammography. Approximately 10% of women are recalled for additional workup and a significant portion prove to have no abnormality, resulting in unnecessary anxiety and cost. 1. Smith RA, Duffy SW, Gabe R et al.

22 Mammography Limitations A major factor contributing to the limited performance of mammography is the tissue superimposition that is created by the overlap of normal breast structures in a two-dimensional mammographic projection. These overlapping structures can obscure a lesion making it more difficult to perceive or rendering it completely mammographically occult. 22

24 Mammography Limitations A major factor contributing to the limited performance of mammography is the tissue superimposition that is created by the overlap of normal breast structures in a two-dimensional mammographic projection. These overlapping structures can obscure a lesion making it more difficult to perceive or rendering it completely mammographically occult. By mimicking mammographic lesions, overlapping structures can also generate false positive findings at screening, resulting in unnecessary recalls. 24

34 2D plus 3D Dose While evidence of the clinical benefits of 3D are accruing, attention has also been drawn to the incremental increase in dose over 2D FFDM.

60 2D FFDM C-View Tomosynthesis

61 Rationale for 3D plus C-View 3D plus C-View imaging provides another lower dose tomosynthesis imaging option for the radiologist. Our study was designed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 3D plus C-View to the current standard: 2D FFDM. 61

62 Clinical Study Overview

63 Study Design Image Acquisition Cases were accrued from 22 sites in the United States under IRB approval with written informed consent Subjects presented for either screening or biopsy Subjects underwent investigational 2D and 3D imaging (in a single compression) of both breasts in the MLO and CC views Screening subjects also underwent standard of care 2D FFDM imaging (SOC) on the same day Biopsy subjects were eligible for the study if their SOC imaging had been performed within the past 60 days. SOC imaging and investigational imaging were interpreted by different radiologists at the accruing sites 63

64 Enrollment Exclusion Criteria Women with a prior excisional biopsy Women with an internal breast marker Women with breast implants Breasts too large to be imaged in a single compression 64

65 Enrollment Exclusion Criteria Prior excisional biopsy 65

66 Enrollment Exclusion Criteria Prior excisional biopsy Presence of an internal tissue marker 66

67 Enrollment Exclusion Criteria Prior excisional biopsy Presence of an internal tissue marker Breast implants 67

68 Enrollment Exclusion Criteria Prior excisional biopsy Presence of an internal tissue marker Breast implants 68

69 Enrollment Exclusion Criteria Prior excisional biopsy Presence of an internal tissue marker Breast implants Breasts too large to be imaged in a single compression 69

70 Study Design Case Selection Eligible collected cases were classified into one of 4 categories: 1. Malignant (biopsy-proven) 2. Benign (biopsy-proven) 3. Recalled from screening Based on either the reading of the SOC or investigational imaging 4. Negative Based on a negative interpretation of both the SOC and investigational imaging REFERENCE STANDARD: Malignant cases: pathology Non-malignant cases: one year follow up to confirm non-malignant status 70

71 QC Exclusion Criteria 3521 Subjects imaged 536 Excluded at site level 2985 Eligible cases after site exclusions 590 Excluded at QC 96 Excluded for use in a pilot study and exclusions based on reader study criteria 2299 Eligible Subjects 1997 Not randomized for reader study 302 Randomized into study 71

72 QC Exclusion Criteria Entire case was excluded if any of the 8 images acquired failed to pass QC Acquisition protocol did not allow for repeat imaging Quality Control exclusions Patient motion Positioning Gridlines or artifacts Approximately 3% of images excluded Number of 2D FFDM and 3D exclusions rates ~ equal 19.8% (590/2985) cases excluded Age, breast density and ethnicity of cases excluded were very similar to cases included 72

73 Overview of Reader Study Comparison of 3Ds to 2D FFDM Retrospective enriched reader study (crossed design with one month delay) 302 cases reviewed by 15 radiologists Readers were MQSA qualified with a wide range of experience with 2D and 3D Primary Endpoint: Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) performance for 3Ds imaging is non-inferior to that of 2D FFDM Secondary Endpoints: ROC AUC for subjects with dense breasts using 3Ds is non-inferior to that of 2D FFDM The non-cancer recall rate for 3Ds is non-inferior to that of 2D FFDM 73

74 Reader Study Cohort Calcification Cases Non-Calcification Cases All Cases Benign Cancer Recall (32%) 120 (68%)

75 Reader Study Cohort Calcification Cases Non-Calcification Cases All Cases Benign Cancer Recall Negative 126 Total

76 Study Design Case Selection BIRADS Density 1 BIRADS Density 2 BIRADS Density 3 BIRADS Density 4 Cases were selected to give an approximate 50/50 mix of fatty vs dense parenchymal patterns 76

77 Inherent Case Selection Bias The vast majority of the cancers included in the reader study came from the biopsy cohort (4 came from screening cohort) and had already been diagnosed by conventional methods prior to enrollment. This method of case selection biases the study against demonstrating a gain in sensitivity using 3D plus C-View because nearly all of the cancers were detected with FFDM imaging. Sensitivity was not an endpoint of the study given the case selection bias. 77

78 Study Design Readers 15 readers participated in the study All readers were MQSA qualified Based on their experience, readers were classified into 3 categories: 1. High volume: interprets > 5000 mammograms / year 2. Medium volume: interprets between 3000 and 5000 mammograms / year 3. Low volume: interprets 3000 mammograms / year or less Additionally, readers were asked whether they had prior clinical experience interpreting tomosynthesis imaging. 78

93 Results Reader Inclusion Pre-determined thresholds for reader performance had been determined for 2D FFDM and 3Ds Application of the pre-determined thresholds resulted in several of the radiologists not meeting criteria for inclusion in the data analysis (predominantly based on their interpretation of the 2D FFDM) After discussions with the FDA, it was decided to include all 15 readers in the analysis Subsequent data analysis confirmed nearly identical outcomes regardless of the thresholding standards applied. 93

162 Conclusion The data from our reader study has demonstrated that 3D plus C-View is effective for clinical use. The analysis of benefits and risk for 3D plus C-View support that it is safe for clinical use. 3D plus C-View provides a lower dose two-view option for tomosynthesis imaging that will help radiologists reduce recall rates and find cancers, translating to reduced patient anxiety and lives saved. 162
