Digital mammography, sestamibi breast scintigraphy, and positron
emission tomography breast imaging.
Pisano ED, Parham CA.
Digital mammography allows for the separate optimization of image acquisition and display.
Through this technology, and the application of image processing and computer aided
diagnosis, breast cancer detection and breast lesion diagnosis might be improved. Besides
the obvious data storage, retrieval, and transmission advantages that digital mammography
will allow, additional advances such as tomosynthesis, dual energy mammography and digital
subtraction mammography are in development. The possible future utility of Sestamibi
breast scintigraphy and breast imaging with positron emission tomography is also
discussed.
