Breast cancer is a serious disease that accounts for approximately 40,000 deaths per year in
the United States. Unfortunately, there is no known cause of breast cancer, and therefore the …

Purpose To prospectively and intraindividually compare dedicated breast computed
tomographic (CT) images with screen-film mammograms. Materials and Methods All patient …

Although screening mammography has been shown to be effective in reducing breast
cancer mortality, a new technique called breast computed tomography (CT) is being studied …

Dedicated breast CT is an emerging 3D isotropic imaging technology for breast, which
overcomes the limitations of 2D compression mammography and limited angle …

X‐ray mammography of the compressed breast is well recognized as the “gold standard” for
early detection of breast cancer, but its performance is not ideal. One limitation of screening …

Dedicated breast computed tomography (CT) is the latest in a long history of breast imaging
techniques dating back to the 1960s. Breast imaging is performed both for cancer screening …

Despite the success of screening mammography contributing to the reduction of cancer
mortality, a number of other imaging techniques are being studied for breast cancer …

Mammography is the gold standard in routine screening for the detection of breast cancer in
the general population. However, limitations in sensitivity, particularly in dense breasts, has …

Dedicated breast CT is being increasingly used for breast imaging. This technique provides
images with no compression, removal of tissue overlap, rapid acquisition, and available …
