Summary
Digital mammography significantly reduces breast cancer mortality by enabling earlier diagnosis. Innovative imaging techniques on this platform further enhance detection and improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Oncology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Breast cancer affects 1 in 9 European women.
- Mammography screening and digital mammography have reduced mortality.
- Early diagnosis improves prognosis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize new digital mammography applications.
- To describe the strengths of the digital platform.
- To illustrate advantages in breast cancer diagnosis.
Main Methods:
- Review of digital mammography technologies.
- Inclusion of digital breast tomosynthesis.
- Integration of contrast-enhanced imaging and data fusion (ultrasound/MRI).
Main Results:
- Digital mammography reduces breast cancer mortality.

01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
