Description

Highlights: • Patients experience less pain during spiral breast computed tomography compared to DM. • The effect of reduced pain compared to DM in spiral breast computed tomography is pronounced in premenopausal patients. • Clinical workflow of SBCT is user-friendly. • Spiral breast computed tomography could evolve as a clinically valuable imaging modality, especially in premenopausal patients or in cases of significant compression-related pain. To intra-individually compare patient comfort of spiral breast computed tomography (SBCT) versus digital mammography (DM).
