Digital Mammography + 3D Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT)
Digital Mammography with 3D Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is an advanced breast imaging examination used to evaluate breast tissue and identify abnormalities that may not be easily detected through physical examination. The combination of digital mammography and 3D imaging creates detailed views of breast tissue, helping radiologists assess areas of concern more clearly.
3D breast tomosynthesis captures multiple low-dose X-ray images from different angles and reconstructs them into thin image slices. This can help reduce the effect of overlapping breast tissue and support more detailed evaluation, particularly when additional assessment is required.
Who May Need This Test?
Your doctor may recommend 3D mammography for routine breast screening, evaluation of breast symptoms, or further assessment of an abnormal finding. It may also be considered for women with dense breast tissue or other individual risk factors, depending on clinical advice.
