Breast-tomosynthesis-a-positive-investment
2013 21 Mar
Breast tomosynthesis has created a lot of interest within the women’s imaging community. While the clinical benefits are becoming more apparent, the reimbursements in the U.S. are inconsistent, and it is expensive to adopt this technology. Providers want to know: Is it worth the investment? Is a positive return on investment (ROI) possible? Hologic...Read more

2013 30 Jul
Digital tomosynthesis is effective in reducing the recall rate in breast cancer screening, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology. Tomosynthesis is similar to mammography in that it relies on ionising radiation to generate images of the breast. However, unlike conventional mammography, tomosynthesis allows for three-dimensional...Read more
