乳房X光检查是早期发现乳腺癌的有效成像工具，也是唯一被证明可以降低乳腺癌死亡率的筛查方式。然而，乳房X光照片上描绘的组织重叠可能会对异常的检测和诊断造成重大障碍。由于乳房X光检查的可疑结果而启动的诊断测试经常会给患者带来不必要的焦虑并增加医疗费用。乳房断层合成是一种基于三维数字图像数据采集的新工具，可以帮助解决解释由组织重叠产生的乳房X线照相特征的问题。尽管该技术尚未获得美国食品和药物管理局的批准，但乳房断层合成有可能有助于降低召回率、改善活检患者的选择并提高癌症检出率，特别是对于乳房致密的患者。补充材料可在射线照相中获得。 rsnajnls。 org/cgi/content/full/27/S231/DC1.
Mammography is an effective imaging tool for detecting breast cancer at an early stage and is the only screening modality proved to reduce mortality from breast cancer. However, the overlap of tissues depicted on mammograms may create significant obstacles to the detection and diagnosis of abnormalities. Diagnostic testing initiated because of a questionable result at screening mammography frequently causes patients unnecessary anxiety and incurs increased medical costs. Breast tomosynthesis, a new tool that is based on the acquisition of three-dimensional digital image data, could help solve the problem of interpreting mammographic features produced by tissue overlap. Although the technology has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, breast tomosynthesis has the potential to help reduce recall rates, improve the selection of patients for biopsy, and increase cancer detection rates, especially in patients with dense breasts.
