For the first time, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends that clinicians "consider" tomosynthesis as part of annual breast cancer screening. The context of the recommendation is ...

If you’re getting checked for breast cancer, you may have the option of digital tomosynthesis. Although it’s a long word (it’s pronounced toh-moh-SIN-thuh-sis), it’s a simple idea: Tomosynthesis is a ...

—Digital breast tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography, has been shown to improve recall and breast cancer detection rates in previous and recent studies and is becoming increasingly integrated into ...

Digital breast tomosynthesis (quasi three-dimensional [3D] mammography) is a relatively novel technique. It creates thin-slice reconstructions of the breast from low-dose digital mammographic images ...

Digital breast tomosynthesis can detect cancer at a higher rate than digital mammography, according to a study published Sept. 17 in Radiology. Researchers from New Haven, Conn.-based Yale School of ...

Tomosynthesis provides 3-D images of breast Researchers hope method will reduce false alarms Insurance companies may not cover such tests Women are used to making complex choices about mammograms.

CHICAGO — The detection of breast cancer is better with digital breast tomosynthesis, which creates a 3-dimensional picture using x-rays, than with standard mammography, results from a 3-year study ...

CHICAGO -- Digital breast tomosynthesis boosted the performance of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) for screening, but the presence of implants reduced its performance, researchers reported here.

In women with dense breasts, adding either tomosynthesis (a form of 3-D mammography) or ultrasound scans to standard mammograms can detect breast cancers that would have been missed, according to new ...

We retrospectively analyzed 1,080 nonactionable three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed DBT screening examinations acquired between 2011 and 2016. Reference tissue segmentations were generated using ...

Digital tomosynthesis is an evolving radiographic technique that produces sequential in‐plane images of musculoskeletal structures by utilising multiple low-dose X‐ray exposures over a limited angular ...
