A Promising Tool for Identifying Breast Cancer
Two revolutionary breast-imaging modalities are undergoing clinical trials in the United States, but a third groundbreaking modality might represent the best of both worlds. Breast tomosynthesis is a method of performing 3D mammography, while contrast-enhanced mammography uses contrast agents to target rapid tumour growth. A combination of those two methods, contrast-enhanced breast tomosynthesis, is being evaluated as a powerful new method of identifying breast cancer. [Read More about this topic]
