Indications
- insufficient evidence to recommend for or against digital tomosynthesis (3-D digital mammography) in women with dense breasts with negative mammogram[4]
Clinical significance
- allegedly higher sensitivity & higher specificity for breast cancer than 2D mammography[2]; however, see indications
- arterial calcifications noted on digital mammography are predicted of coronary artery calcification[3]*
