Digital breast tomosynthesis: observer performance study.

TL;DR: Use of digital breast tomosynthesis for breast imaging may result in a substantial decrease in recall rate, and there was no convincing evidence that use of digital Breast Tomosynthesis alone or in combination with FFDM results in a significant improvement in sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Two-dimensional Synthesized Mammograms versus Original Digital Mammograms Alone and in Combination with Tomosynthesis Images

TL;DR: SM alone or in combination with tomosynthesis is comparable in performance to FFDM alone orIn combination withTomosynthesis and may eliminate the need for FFDM as part of a routine clinical study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis versus Supplemental Diagnostic Mammographic Views for Evaluation of Noncalcified Breast Lesions

TL;DR: Tomosynthesis significantly improved diagnostic accuracy for noncalcified lesions compared with supplemental mammographic views compared with BI-RADS category 4 or 5, without a meaningful change in sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dose reduction in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening using synthetically reconstructed projection images: an observer performance study.

TL;DR: Improved synthesized images with experimentally verified acceptable diagnostic quality will be needed to eliminate double exposure during DBT-based screening and lower sensitivity with comparable specificity was observed with the tested version of synthetically generated images compared to FFDM, both combined with DBT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of breast abnormalities using a prototype resonance electrical impedance spectroscopy system: A preliminary study

TL;DR: The results suggest that differences in REIS signals between two breasts measured in and around the tissue resonance frequency can be used to identify at least some of the women with suspicious abnormalities warranting biopsy with high specificity.
