Comparison of Digital Mammography Alone and Digital Mammography Plus Tomosynthesis in a Population-based Screening Program

TL;DR: The use of mammography plus tomosynthesis in a screening environment resulted in a significantly higher cancer detection rate and enabled the detection of more invasive cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of tomosynthesis plus digital mammography and digital mammography alone for breast cancer screening.

TL;DR: Patients undergoing tomosynthesis plus digital mammography had significantly lower screening recall rates, and the greatest reductions were for those younger than 50 years and those with dense breasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of breast tomosynthesis. Part I. The image acquisition process.

TL;DR: The extensive research performed during the development of breast tomosynthesis is reviewed, with a focus on the research addressing the medical physics aspects of this imaging modality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation of breast tomosynthesis in a routine screening practice: an observational study

TL;DR: The introduction of breast tomosynthesis into clinical practice was associated with a significant reduction in recall rates and a simultaneous increase in breast cancer detection rates.

Diagnostic Performance of Digital versus Film Mammography for Breast-Cancer Screening

TL;DR: The overall diagnostic accuracy of digital and film mammography as a means of screening for breast cancer is similar, but digital mammography is more accurate in women under the age of 50 years, women with radiographically dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital x-ray tomosynthesis: current state of the art and clinical potential

TL;DR: The various reconstruction algorithms used to produce tomosynthesis images, as well as approaches used to minimize the residual blur from out-of-plane structures are described.

Analysis of cancers missed at screening mammography.

- 01 Sep 1992 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of 320 cancers found in a screened population between August 1985 and May 1990 revealed 77 cancers that were "missed" at screening mammography, which occurred in women with denser breasts, were less likely to demonstrate malignant microcalcifications, and were more likely to demonstrating a developing opacity as an indication of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital tomosynthesis in breast imaging.

TL;DR: Tomosynthesis may improve the specificity of mammography with improved lesion margin visibility and may improve early breast cancer detection, especially in women with radiographically dense breasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital breast tomosynthesis: initial experience in 98 women with abnormal digital screening mammography.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the image quality of tomosynthesis with that of conventional mammography and estimated the recall rate of screening when Tomosynthesis is used in addition to mammography.
