Oslo study finds favor with synthesized 2D mammography

A research team led by Dr. Per Skaane, PhD, of the University of Oslo found that using synthesized 2D mammography with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) was the best combination for breast screening, beating more traditional techniques such as digital mammography alone or with DBT, according to results published on 19 February in Radiology.

Use ultrasound to evaluate masses found on DBT

Ultrasound is 98% effective for further assessing masses found on screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), according to a study published online on 29 November in the British Journal of Radiology. The findings suggest that a diagnostic mammogram after screening DBT is unnecessary, thus sparing women additional radiation exposure.
