متن کاملDigital mammography creates new opportunities in cancer detection
Digital offers clear logistical advantages, such as the ability to integrate mammography images and reports with the rest of the digital radiology enterprise. And all major trials completed to date have concluded that clinically, digital is at least equivalent to, if not statistically better than, screen-film. With the high spatial resolution so critical for detecting masses and microcalcificat...
