Tomosynthesis increases confidence

 

Comparing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and digital mammography (DM), the authors show that DBT increases reader’s confidence and improves the inter-reader agreement.

 

Key points:

• Digital breast tomosynthesis decreases interobserver variability in the detection of architectural distortion.
• Digital breast tomosynthesis increases reader confidence in the detection of architectural distortion.
• Digital breast tomosynthesis improves sensitivity in the detection of architectural distortion.
