For the challenge, eight teams were tasked with developing algorithms capable of achieving high sensitivity for lesion detection on DBT exams.

The Susan G. Komen organization has lobbied for the proposals and recently touted them in a series of separate announcements. 

Mammography screening trends had remained flat, but they fell across all age groups after the USPSTF issued new guidelines in 2009.
