“…Although this study was not designed to assess DBT in the diagnostic and assessment setting, improved visualisation of benign and malignant features using DBT could reduce the need for additional ultrasound, MRI or supplemental mammographic imaging. [39][40][41][42] The screening population would also benefit if some of the anxiety and stress associated with breast screening from unnecessary recalls and additional testing could be reduced.…”

“…[28][29][30] Improved lesion visibility, size and classification compared with standard film or digital mammography have been reported [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and the possibility that DBT could reduce the need for additional mammographic views at least for non-calcified lesions [39][40][41][42] has been suggested. There are mixed reports of the sensitivity of DBT for the detection of microcalcifications 32,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] that may be partly as a result of the different techniques used for image reconstruction and the need to combine image slices into thicker slabs for optimal visualisation of microcalcification clusters.…”

HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance. HTA research is also an important source of evidence for National Screening Committee (NSC) policy decisions.For more information about the HTA programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hta This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HTA programme as project number 09/22/182.

Background: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a three-dimensional mammography technique with the potential to improve accuracy by improving differentiation between malignant and non-malignant lesions.

“…[3][4][5] DBT has also been found to be superior to FFDM in measuring tumour size 15,16 and is at least comparable with supplementary views in the assessment of non-calcified lesions. [9][10][11] The tumour outline can be seen in more cases on DBT as compared with FFDM, which makes local staging of tumours significantly more accurate with DBT. 15 The combination of DBT and FFDM has also been found to increase cancer detection and reduce recall rates in females with dense breasts.…”

“…8 The focal compression is intended to spread out overlying glandular tissue and improve the conspicuity of any underlying lesion. Other studies 9,10 have confirmed that DBT is at least as accurate as spot compression view in the assessment of soft-tissue abnormalities. A study by Zuley et al 11 has shown that DBT significantly improved diagnostic accuracy and allows better lesion characterization for non-calcified lesions in comparison with supplemental mammographic views.…”

Objective: The current recommendation from the UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme is that digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can be used for further assessment of possible screen-detected softtissue abnormalities in place of spot compression views and when used should be performed in two projections. The aim of the study was to assess whether twoview DBT is necessary if the abnormality is seen only in one view on initial full-field digital mammography (FFDM). Methods: 617 cases with possible masses, distortions and asymmetrical densities visualized only in one view on screening FFDM were included. All of these females underwent two-view DBT, clinical examination and ultrasound. The FFDM and DBT findings on each view were compared and correlated with the histological diagnosis.

“…Early studies of DBT have shown improved conspicuity and characterization of lesions, in part due to reduced obscuration by overlapping breast tissue (15,25). In particular, architectural distortion and lesion margins become more apparent at DBT.…”
