    Breast cancer screening is vital for early detection, with mammography being the most common imaging method despite its accuracy limitations.

  • 2

    Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) enhances cancer detection rates but still relies on proper breast positioning and compression for accuracy.

  • 3

    Automated software tools have been developed to evaluate breast positioning and compression, addressing limitations of traditional visual assessment methods.

  • 4

    This study assessed the impact of automated software on the performance of breast radiographers during tomosynthesis screening in a prospective cohort.

  • 5

    The software used in the study analyzes various parameters and categorizes positioning outcomes, aiming to improve the quality of mammograms.
