TL;DR: Clinical performance of tomosynthesis in one view at the same total dose as standard screen-film mammography is not inferior to digital mammography in two views.

TL;DR: High-resolution SELDI-TOF analysis of human serum generated a robust classifier composed of seven low-molecular-weight ions that yielded a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic procedure for the discrimination of women with stage 1 breast cancer compared with women without breast cancer in this research study set.

TL;DR: Breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has emerged as a valuable adjunct to mammography (MX) in terms of ROC curve area, sensitivity and specificity and was superior to two-view MX in recognising benign lesions.

TL;DR: Full-field digital mammography dose reduction is allowed by wider dynamic range and higher efficiency of digital detector, which can be exposed at higher energy spectra than screen/film mammography, and by the separation between acquisition and displaying processes.

TL;DR: This work has the following aims: to set out precisely the real diagnostic contribution of each method and suggest methods of application and indications consistent with the state of the art, and to suggest the most effective and rational combinations of the various techniques and organisation of diagnostic activities.
