DBT bests CBCT for identifying noncalcified breast lesions
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSM01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is better for identifying noncalcified breast lesions, both malignant and benign, than noncontrast conebeam CT (CBCT), and readers are more confident using tomosynthesis to characterize lesions, according to Pennsylvania researchers.

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.
