Tomosynthesis

Tomosynthesis is a advanced imaging technique used primarily in breast cancer screening. Unlike traditional mammography, which captures flat images, tomosynthesis creates a three-dimensional picture of the breast by taking multiple X-ray images from different angles. This allows doctors to see the breast tissue in slices, making it easier to identify abnormalities or tumors that might be hidden in overlapping areas. As a result, tomosynthesis can improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection and reduce the chances of false positives, providing both patients and physicians with clearer insights for diagnosis.
