title: Full-Field Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis.
abstract: Innovation in breast imaging techniques is leading to better breast cancer detection. Concurrently, breast cancer screening recommendations are changing, and breast density is becoming a more significant factor in breast cancer screening. Digital mammography has become the preferred screening method, with more breast imaging centers including the use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The technology's role in breast imaging has not been clarified fully, and several clinical trials are addressing DBT. This article presents research findings on digital mammography and DBT and explores the future role of 3-D breast imaging.
