One-view DBT could be sufficient for breast screening
By Rebekah Moan
One-view digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is not statistically inferior to two-view digital mammography (DM) or two-view DM plus two-view DBT, Dutch researchers have found. Furthermore, one-view DBT could be sufficient for experienced readers, they added.

DBT, synthetic 2D mammography beat standard screening
By Rebekah Moan
Single-reading digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plus synthesized 2D mammography increased cancer detection and decreased recalls compared with double-reading standard mammography in a new study, published online by European Radiology on 2 January. In addition, standard mammography did not improve results when added to DBT.
