Observer variability in screen-film mammography versus full-field digital mammography with soft-copy reading
Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with soft-copy reading is more complex than screen-film mammography (SFM) with hard-copy reading. The aim of this study was to compare inter- and intraobserver variability...

Clinical Performance of Breast Tomosynthesis as a Function of Radiologist Experience Level
This study reports the performance of breast tomosynthesis (3D images) combined with digital mammography (2D images), compared to digital mammography alone, as a function of the experience of the radiologist. ...

Lesion Visibility in Low Dose Tomosynthesis
Visibility of lesions in mammography are significantly reduced by the presence of anatomical, or structure, noise. Breast tomosynthesis offers the possibility of reducing this noise. We have compared the detec...

The Dependence of Tomosynthesis Imaging Performance on the Number of Scan Projections
In general, the use of more projections results in fewer tomosynthesis reconstruction artifacts. However, under a fixed dose, an excess number of projections will make the detector noise more pronounced in eac...
