Digital breast tomosynthesis for breast cancer detection: a diagnostic test accuracy systematic review and meta-analysis

Accuracy and Effectiveness of Mammography versus Mammography and Tomosynthesis for Population-Based Breast Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…We found 13 systematic reviews on this topic published in the literature [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] . Only one of these reviews had its protocol registered 15 , and all of their eligibility criteria were different from ours.…”

Digital breast tomosynthesis compared to diagnostic mammographic projections (including magnification) among women recalled at screening mammography: a systematic review for the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC)

“…However, the authors included studies in symptomatic women and did not distinguish between the screening and diagnostic setting in the analysis. 26 In contrast to the screening setting, the body of evidence on DBT in the assessment of screen-recalled findings is scarcer. Li et al published a systematic review in the diagnostic setting, which includes six studies suggesting that DBT may improve specificity but have no effect on sensitivity; 11 as well as one of the included studies showing that DBT may reduce the frequency of ultrasound requests at assessment.…”

Advances in X-ray imaging technology

“…在X射线机硬 件平台上实现三维成像, 目前已经有成功商业化的例 子就是数字乳腺断层成像(digital breast tomosynthesis, DBT) [14~16] . DR三维成像扫描的速度始终受到探测器 性能的制约, 探测器残影也会成为重建数据自洽性的 障碍 [17] . 因此, 迫切需要比非晶硅技术更加快速、残 影更低的大面积动态探测器技术及更精确的机械控制 位置传感技术.…”
