Image for Digital tomosynthesis

Digital tomosynthesis

Digital tomosynthesis is an advanced imaging technique that creates detailed, three-dimensional pictures of the inside of the body, similar to a 3D x-ray. It works by taking multiple X-ray images from different angles around the area of interest. A computer then processes these images to produce clear cross-sectional views, helping doctors see structures like the breasts or lungs more precisely. This technology improves detection and diagnosis while exposing patients to less radiation compared to traditional 3D imaging methods. It’s commonly used in breast cancer screening and other medical assessments requiring detailed visualization of internal tissues.
