1 The Potential Effect of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis on the Benign Biopsy Rate in Women Recalled within the UK Breast Screening Programme When compared with full-field digital mammography (FFDM), use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) during breast cancer mammography screening would have reduced the number of biopsies from 571 (69.0%) to 298 (36.0%) of 827. DBT assessments exhibited significantly higher specificity (538 of 694 [77.5%]) than did FFDM assessments without DBT (265 of 694 [38.2%]). Images in a 46-year-old who was recalled for asymmetry (arrows). Mediolateral oblique (MLO), lateral views, and DBT image shows an indeterminate spiculated density that was coded as indeterminate.  FFDM findings were false negative, and biopsy revealed intermediate ductal carcinoma in situ.     MLO                                  Lateral                        DBT Sharma N et al.Published Online: Mar 19, 2019
