Impact of three dimensional tomosynthesis on the detection and diagnosis of breast lesions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subjects and methods The study included 166 mammograms with indeterminate findings selected from 1600 mammograms. They were classified into two groups: group 1 ‘Diagnostic mammograms’ of symptomatic women and group 2 ‘Screening mammograms’. Dense breasts assigned as ACR3 and ACR4 presented 69% (n = 114/166) of the studied cases. FFDM and 3D tomosynthesis examination was done and imaging findings were evaluated before and after the use of 3D tomosynthesis images.

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and early detection is important for its successful treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of three methods for early detection of breast cancer: breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital mammography, and breast tomosynthesis in comparison to histopathology, as well as to investigate the int...

متن کاملDigital mammography and tomosynthesis for breast cancer diagnosis.
INTRODUCTION Mammography is one of the most common X-ray examinations although it is well-known that the anatomical background of the breast is the main obstacle when it comes to detection of breast lesions with this method. Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional radiographic technique which, to a large extent, can suppress the confounding effect of the anatomical background. Tomosynthesis is a s...

Mammography is currently the most effective breast cancer screening technique. It has been shown by clinical studies that mammography has reduced the mortality by 30~50%. However, mammography is not a perfect technique in that about 30% of breast cancers are missed. A major limit to the sensitivity of conventional mammography is the superimposition of the breast tissue. A mammogram is a two-dim...
