Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is an advanced imaging technique used in breast cancer screening and diagnosis. It creates a 3D picture of the breast by taking multiple x-ray images from different angles. These images are then digitally reconstructed to provide detailed views, helping radiologists see through dense breast tissue more clearly than traditional 2D mammograms. This enhanced clarity can improve the accuracy of finding tumors and reduce the chances of false positives, leading to more effective and timely detection of breast abnormalities.
