Adding 3D breast tomo to mammography finds more cancers
By Kate Madden Yee
Using 3D digital breast tomosynthesis with conventional 2D mammography finds 50% more cancers than 2D imaging alone and also reduces the false-positive rate, according to a new study published online April 25 in Lancet Oncology.

Jury still out on whether DBT can replace 2D mammography
By Kate Madden Yee
More evidence is needed before radiologists can determine unequivocally that digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is ready to replace standard digital mammography, according to a literature review published online in the Breast journal. Fortunately, a number of research studies under way could prove that point.

Breast tomosynthesis challenges digital imaging infrastructure
By Dr. David Clunie
While the advent of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in the U.S. has added an exciting weapon to the breast imaging armamentarium, these new capabilities have also led to significant image management challenges. DBT adopters need to be aware of and plan for issues such as large file sizes and proprietary file formats.

Debate ignites over breast MRI's added value
By Philip Ward
VIENNA - Researchers from the Netherlands found that 3-tesla breast MRI of mammographically detected microcalcifications is of added diagnostic value, but only by expert radiologists, according to a presentation during the breast scientific session on Thursday at ECR 2013. However, their findings were challenged by a member of the audience.

US elastography, contrast-enhanced mammography, MR spectroscopy: Which offers the most promise?
By Rebekah Moan
VIENNA - Mammography is an imperfect modality, so it makes sense that radiologists are on the lookout for something better, or at least something to supplement the technique. Thursday's refresher course covers functional imaging of the breast and goes into detail about ultrasound elastography, contrast-enhanced mammography, and MRI diffusion, perfusion, and spectroscopy, which may supplement mammography or replace it altogether.
