1Institut für Radiologie, Charité Berlin Campus Mitte. felix.diekmann@charite.de
Objective:
The aim of this survey was to determine improved diagnostics through digital mammography with assistance of computer algorithms and new investigation techniques.
Material And Methods:
In general, the presented procedures are practicable with all digital mammography procedures. In our clinic the largest clinical experience exists with the only FDA certified full field mammography device Senograph 2000D (GE Medical Systems).
Results:
First results from initial studies are shown, which are to evaluate the new procedures. The so-called post processing with visualization of microcalcifications, computer-assisted diagnosis, tomosynthesis, energy subtraction, contrast media in mammography and teleradiology are considered in particular.
Conclusion:
Digital mammography represents a promising procedure, opening new possibilities for improved diagnostic in mammography.
