Artifacts in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2018Artifacts in digital breast tomosynthesis and synthesized 2D imaging reduce image quality. This article describes the appearance of these unique artifacts, reviews their causes, and discusses methods to ameliorate these artifacts.Artifacts in digital breast tomosynthesis and synthesized 2D imaging can obscure important findings on mammograms.

Advances in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2017Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has rapidly emerged as an important new imaging tool that reduces the masking effect of overlapping fibroglandular tissue, thereby improving breast cancer detection. This article will review key features of DBT including technique, clinical implementation, and benign and malignant imaging findings.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technique developed to overcome these two shortcomings of mammography. The X-ray tube moves within a fixed arc (15–50° depending upon the vendor) obtaining multiple low-dose exposures. The data is reconstructed in the form of a stack of thin 1.0 mm slices in the direction of breast compression.

Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: Technique
2022The introduction of mammography as a radiographic imaging modality optimized for breast imaging revolutionized breast cancer care. Throughout the decades, conventional, screen-film-based mammography has given way to digital mammography, resulting in many benefits, including a streamlined workflow and improved performance in certain subgroups of ...

Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016Breast imaging technology has advanced significantly from the 1930s until the present. American women have a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer. Mammography has been proven in multiple clinical trials to reduce breast cancer mortality. Although a mainstay of breast imaging and improved from film-screen mammography, digital mammography is not a ...

Screening for Dense Breasts: Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2015OBJECTIVE. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a recent imaging technology that was developed to address the limitations of conventional 2D mammography. The limitations of standard mammography are well known and include reduced sensitivity in dense breasts.

Overview Of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
, 2018 Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a relatively new X-ray technique that allows quasi–three-dimensional imaging of the breast to overcome limitations of conventional 2-D digital mammography (DM).

The physics of digital breast tomosynthesis
Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik, 2012The main reason for the diagnostic impairment of conventional mammography is the fact that the 3D anatomical information is projected into a 2D image plane. Therefore, anatomical structures that overlap the tumors limit the radiologist’s ability to detect certain cancers.

Digital tomosynthesis in breast imaging.
Radiology, 1997To describe and evaluate a method of tomosynthesis breast imaging with a full-field digital mammographic system.In this tomosynthesis method, low-radiation-dose images were acquired as the x-ray source was moved in an arc above the stationary breast and digital detector. A step-and-expose method of imaging was used.
