Conventional mammography creates a two-dimensional (2D) image of a three-dimensional (3D) structure, which may result in…
The introduction of tomosynthesis to an imaging facility is a positive experience for mammography technologists. Tomosynthesis improves the clinical workflow not only by allowing faster patient throughput but also by improving diagnostic accuracy, benefiting both the patients and breast imaging…
Screening mammography has undergone many improvements since widespread screening began in the 1980s. These improvements have led to improved image quality, reduced radiation dose, and more accurate examinations. In the early 2000s there was a major shift in imaging technology,…
