What is tomosynthesis?

Tomosynthesis, also known as 3D mammography, is an advanced form of breast imaging that uses multiple X-ray images of the breast from different angles to create a three-dimensional picture. It is commonly used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis, offering improved accuracy and reduced false-positive rates compared to traditional 2D mammography. It is particularly useful for women with dense breast tissue.
