X-Ray Induced Formation of γ-H2AX Foci after Full-Field Digital Mammography and Digital Breast-Tomosynthesis

چکیده
Innovation in breast imaging techniques is leading to better breast cancer detection. Concurrently, breast cancer screening recommendations are changing, and breast density is becoming a more significant factor in breast cancer screening. Digital mammography has become the preferred screening method, with more breast imaging centers including the use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The technology's role in breast imaging has not been clarified fully, and several clinical trials are addressing DBT. This article presents research findings on digital mammography and DBT and explores the future role of 3-D breast imaging.

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT)
DBT is a three-dimensional (3D) breast imaging technology that uses a rotating X-ray source to acquire multiple image slices at several angles. The X-ray source rotates around the breast in an arc. Serial exposures are taken every few degrees in the arc rotation. These images are then reconstituted by software to produce a 3Dimage of the breast, similar to CAT scanning. It has been suggested th...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
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...
متن کاملA Review of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
While the principle of tomosynthesis has been known for almost a century, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a novel technology that owes its rapid development to the introduction of full-field digital mammography (FFDM). This review article covers the principles and design considerations of DBT, including system geometry. Further, the article provides an in-depth introduction to DBT dosimet...
متن کاملScreening-detected desmoid tumor of the breast: findings at conventional imaging and digital breast tomosynthesis
Desmoid tumor of the breast is a rare benign entity that usually is mistaken for carcinoma clinically and radiologically. We report two cases of desmoid tumor of the breast detected by mammography screening using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The larger tumor was detected at both full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and DBT. The smaller desmoid tumor, however, was identified only at tomo...
متن کاملDigital Breast Tomosynthesis - 06/13
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is being developed as an approach to generate images that may improve the sensitivity and specificity of mammography. Current radiographic approaches to mammography produce two-dimensional (2D) images. These 2D systems can have limitations due to overlapping tissue in the breast that may hide lesions (cancers) or cause benign masses to appear suspicious. DBT, ...
