DIGITAL BREAST TOMOSYNTHESIS AND FULL-FIELD DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY IN BREAST CANCER DETECTION ASSOCIATED WITH FOUR ASYMMETRY TYPES

Breast cancer detection in digital breast tomosynthesis

Addition of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis to Full-Field Digital Mammography in the Diagnostic Setting: Additional Value and Cancer Detectability

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the value of adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in the diagnostic workup of breast cancer and to determine which lesion variables affect cancer detectability in the combined modality. METHODS Between March and May 2012, paired FFDM and DBT images were obtained from 203 women as part of a diagnostic...

Detection of breast cancer with full-field digital mammography and computer-aided detection.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate computer-aided detection (CAD) performance with full-field digital mammography (FFDM). MATERIALS AND METHODS CAD (Second Look, version 7.2) was used to evaluate 123 cases of breast cancer detected with FFDM (Senographe DS). Retrospectively, CAD sensitivity was assessed using breast density, mammographic presentation, histopathology results, ...

A comparison of the accuracy of film-screen mammography, full-field digital mammography, and digital breast tomosynthesis.

AIM To measure the change in diagnostic accuracy of conventional film-screen mammography and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with the addition of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in women recalled for assessment following routine screening. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethics approval for the study was granted. Women recalled for assessment following routine screening with screen-film mammog...

Clinical comparison of full-field digital mammography and screen-film mammography for detection of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work is to compare full-field digital mammography and screen-film mammography for the detection of breast cancer in a screening population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Full-field digital mammography was performed in addition to screen-film mammography in 6736 examinations of women 40 years old and older presenting for screening mammography at either of two institutions....
