| Summary: | Objectives: Comparison between digital mammography alone and with adding digital breast tomosynthesis in breast cancer screening.
Patients & methods: 143 females underwent digital mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis and breast ultrasound.
Results: DBT+DM decreased recall rate by 38% in BI-RADS 0. From BI-RADS I till BI-RADS V DBT+DM showed more accuracy than DM. In BI-RADS IV DBT+DM decreased false positive results by 33%.
Conclusion: Adding digital breast tomosynthesis to digital mammography improves the diagnostic accuracy in breast cancer screening. |
