The parallax view: Digital breast tomosynthesis has cancer screening in its crosshairs
By Sydney Schuster
Built on full-field digital mammography (FFDM) technology, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) combines 2D image slices to form a 3D composite exam. Trials indicate DBT images are superior to both FFDM and film-screen mammography in terms of quality and acquisition time. Early talk is that DBT not only will find breast cancers earlier, but also fix mammography's liability woes and restore its tarnished popularity among imaging specialists.

MRI becoming more efficient in breast cancer detection
By Wayne Forrest
As breast cancer continues as a major health concern for women, MRI is playing an increasingly important role in detecting the disease in certain subgroups. Two recent studies focused on breast MRI, with the first examining whether accurate assessment of breast vascularity can help increase specificity for breast MRI. The other sought to determine how often incidental lesions are detected by MR, how they can be characterized, and what is the proper management of the lesions.
