eviCore Opinion Statement Digital Breast Tomosynthesis for use in Breast Cancer Screening
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Despite uncertainties with the use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), also called 3D mammography, clinical interest is increasing. Some researchers and patient advocacy groups are promoting its ability to improve breast cancer screenings. Preliminary studies suggest that tomosynthesis has increased specificity and sensitivity over 2D digital mammography (DM), and therefore reduced recall and biopsy rates (Lourenco et al., 2015; Citatto et al., 2013; Friedwald et al., 2014; Skaane et al., 2013). Facilities are installing units with DBT capabilities, even though standards have not been developed for this imaging modality and the FDA-approved bodies are not prepared to accredit 3D tomography (FDA, 2014).

Digital 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...

American Society of Breast Disease Statement on Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Introduction The widespread implementation of screening mammography has decreased the mortality of breast cancer by as much as 50% [1]. Despite recent controversies regarding the benefits of screening mammography, and the age at which screening mammography should begin, mammography remains the most widely utilized tool for early detection of breast cancer. However, it is also evident that mammo...

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...
