DBT offers potential for super-resolution imaging
By Tami Freeman
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is an emerging imaging modality in which tomographic images of the breast are generated from multiple 2D x-ray projection images. But DBT can deliver much more -- it also offers the potential for super-resolution (subpixel) imaging.

Uncertainty remains over MRI's clinical role in breast imaging
By Frances Rylands-Monk
MRI can be of value for detecting cancer recurrence in the treated breast, but it continues to arouse controversy when it comes to other indications. Radiologists need to understand the indications for breast MRI and be aware of its advantages and limitations, especially in high-risk cases.

PEM more specific than MRI for presurgical breast cancer planning
By Kate Madden Yee
CHICAGO - Positron emission mammography (PEM) is more specific than breast MRI for presurgical planning of the ipsilateral breast in women with breast cancer. And this specificity could mean fewer unnecessary biopsies, researchers report.

Breast biopsies successful with integrated 3D digital breast tomosynthesis
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m.| SSJ01-01 | Room E352French researchers using 3D digital breast tomosynthesis are finding lesions that can't be visualized on conventional 2D mammography, and by integrating a tomosynthesis biopsy unit, they say they can biopsy and analyze a broader range of breast lesions compared with 2D digital mammography.
