1) To review how 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and subsequent synthesized 2D images are obtained and interpreted.  2) To discuss how 3D DBT and synthesized 2D images can improve screening recall rate and cancer detection rate. 3) To identify changes in diagnostic breast imaging workflow when using 3D DBT and synthesized 2D techniques compared with 2D mammography.  

3D DBT and 2D synthesized imaging techniques: Overview of image acquisition and interpretation Findings identified with 3D DBT and 2D synthesized imaging not visible with conventional 2D mammography:      -Breast cancer:           -Invasive ductal carcinoma           -Ductal carcinoma in situ           -Invasive lobular carcinoma      -High risk lesions:           -Complex sclerosing lesion           -Intraductal papilloma      -Benign lesions:           -Cyst           -Fibroadenoma           -Dense stromal fibrosis Ways that 3D DBT reduces screening mammography recall rate:      -Demonstration of asymmetries to be summation of normal tissue      -Localization of skin lesions, including calcifications      -Identification of vascular calcifications Workflow changes in the diagnostic setting with 3D DBT:      -Fewer additional views      -Improved localization and characterization of masses      -Evaluation of extent of disease using 3D DBT for newly diagnosed cancer Summary
