Abstract

According to recent reports, DBT is a useful diagnostic procedure compared to 2D mammography. In this paper, we evaluated the diagnostic impact of adjunction of DBT to FFDM and in comparison with FFDM only, in accordance with pathological findings and breast density. 303 women, having 333 lesions, (age 29-84, mean age 54.0 years old) that were recruited for this study gave informed consent. The results indicated that adjunction of DBT to FFDM was superior to FFDM only, regarding diagnostic performance.
