1) To review the current role of screening digital mammography and tomosynthesis. 2) To demonstrate digital mammography and tomosynthesis use for evaluating screening callbacks of masses, calcifications, architectural distortion and summation artifacts. 3) To discuss tomosynthesis for decreasing callback rates, evaluating extent of disease and increasing cancer detection rates.
This case based review will demonstrate digital mammography and tomosynthesis use for evaluating callbacks of masses, calcifications, architectural distortion and summation artifacts. Practical considerations of digital mammography and tomosynthesis will also be discussed, including the effect of digital tomosynthesis on screening callback rates, evaluating extent of disease and increasing cancer detection rates.
