Course Objectives
- To describe different tomosynthesis systems which are currently available.
- To understand the potential of tomosynthesis in patient management, in the diagnosis of breast cancer and to describe the impact on tomosynthesis in mammography screening.
- To describe strategies for systematic reviews of tomosynthesis imaging data sets.
- To describe approaches for the evaluation of masses, calcifications, asymmetric densities and architectural distrotions seen on tomosynthesis imaging.
- To offer training in tomosynthesis interpretation with case-based review at high quality workstations, by comparing mammography and tomosynthesis imaging data sets.
