Description

With the development of digital mammography, screen-film mammography (SFM) technology has been gradually replaced. The advantages of improved technology have been confirmed in the dense type breasts. In this article we reviewed the advantages and limitations of new technologies in digital mammography by comparing digital breast tomography (DBT) and contrast-enhancement dual-energy digital mammography (CEDM) with conventional digital mammography (DM), and discussed the potential influence on patients and the technological development prospect.
