Are better clinical results from DBT worth the cost?
By Kate Madden Yee
The transition from digital mammography to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for routine breast cancer screening has its benefits, such as lower recall rates and better cancer detection. But DBT also leads to higher healthcare costs, according to research presented at the recent RSNA 2018 meeting.

Ultrasound after DBT obviates diagnostic 2D mammo
By Kate Madden Yee
Performing a diagnostic mammogram to assess suspicious masses found on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) may not be necessary if ultrasound is available, according to a new study published online on November 29 in the British Journal of Radiology. Researchers found that ultrasound is 98% effective for further assessing masses found on DBT screening exams.
