Combining DBT with FFDM almost doubles reading time
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | VSBR41-11 | Arie Crown TheaterAdding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) almost doubles interpretation time for all breast densities compared with FFDM alone -- with the exception of extremely dense breast tissue, Yale University researchers have found.

DBT plus mammography equals increased cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE02-02 | Room E450AAdding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to mammography can increase the cancer detection rate from 1.5% to 2.3%, researchers from Spain have concluded.

DBT reduces callbacks, boosts cancer detection
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 26 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-BRS-MO8B | Lakeside Learning CenterThe first five months of using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in a screening practice showed a small reduction in the overall callback rate and a small increase in the cancer detection rate; however, these results were not statistically significant, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania.

CBCT-like angio predicts TACE response a month before MRI
By Eric Barnes
A dual-phase angiography procedure based on conebeam CT (CBCT) principles that was used during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) can predict treatment response in hepatocellular carcinoma tumors long before MRI is traditionally applied at one-month follow-up, researchers wrote in Radiology.
