Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT)

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is an advanced mammography technique that creates 3D images of breast tissue. During the procedure, a series of X-ray images are taken from different angles, allowing radiologists to view the breast layer by layer. This helps improve the detection of small tumors, reduces overlapping tissue concerns, and enhances overall screening accuracy. DBT is especially beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, making it easier to identify abnormalities that might not be visible in traditional 2D mammograms. It typically involves a similar procedure time and comfort level as standard mammography.
