Abstract

Most breast imaging programs have replaced film-screen mammography systems with digital mammography. Other breast imaging methods, such as digital breast tomosynthesis, complement the tools available for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. This article examines digital mammography, other digital breast imaging modalities, and the effects of these technologies on practice, quality, efficiency, and the technologist's role in patient care.
