Abstract
Aim: To audit our mammography screening practice according to the American College of Radiology (ACR)
recommendations in the years 2017 and 2018.
Method: We documented and analyzed our breast imaging data collected between March 14th, 2017 and December
31st, 2018 and performed a medical audit related to our mammography screening practice. The results were evaluated
according to ACR BI-RADS recommendations and performance benchmarks.
Results: The total number of mammographic screening patients who had no personal history of breast cancer was 2413
in 2017 and 2018. Our PPV1, PPV2 and PPV3 values were 5.6%, 30.8%, 52.9% accordingly. The recall rate was 11%.
Outcomes for cancer detection rate, minimal cancer rate, early-stage cancer rate and lymph node negativity were 0.74%,
50%, 77% and 64% respectively.
Conclusion: The mammographic screening outcomes are in accordance with ACR performance benchmarks. Despite
a desired high early cancer detection rate, axillary lymph node negativity was found to be below the desired range of
75%. Medical auditing is important for a breast imaging unit to monitor the effectiveness of screening and diagnostic
procedures and presents as an effective feedback tool to improve the practice.

Mamografi Tarama Sonuçlarının BI-RADS’a Göre Değerlendirilmesi; Bir Meme Görüntüleme Merkezinin Tıbbi Denetimi
Abstract
Amaç: Kliniğimizde 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında yapılan tarama mamografilerinin sonuçlarının American College of Radiology
(ACR) önerileri doğrultusunda karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Yöntem: 14 Mart 2017 ve 31 Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında yapılan tarama mamografi sonuçlarını kaydedip analiz ettik.
Bu analizleri kullanarak tarama mamografi uygulamalarımızı denetledik. Sonuçlar ACR BI-RADS önerileri ve performans
kriterlerine göre değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Meme kanseri öyküsü bulunmayan kadınlara yapılan tarama mamografisi sayısı toplam 2413‘tü. Pozitif
Öngörü Değeri (PÖD)1, PÖD2 ve PÖD3 hesaplamalarımız sırasıyla %5,6, %30,8 ve %52,9 idi. Geri çağırma oranı ise %11’di.
Kanser saptama oranı, minimal kanser oranı, erken evre kanser oranı ve lenf nodu negatifliği çıktıları sırasıyla %0,74, %50,
%77 ve %64 olarak saptandı.
Sonuç: Tarama mamografilerinin değerlendirme çıktılarının ACR performans kriterleri ile uyumlu olduğu görüldü. Erken
evre meme kanseri saptama oranı istenildiği gibi yüksek olmasına rağmen aksiller lenf nodu negatiflik oranının istenilen
%75’lik oranın altında kaldığı görüldü. Medikal denetleme, meme görüntüleme biriminin tarama ve tanı çalışmalarının
etkinliğini gösterme ve birimin uygulamalarının iyileşmesi için etkili bir geri bildirim yöntemi olması açısından önemlidir.
