NCT01524029 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 600

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the value of the new mammography technique called Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) compared to the current standard technique Digital Mammography for the early detection of Breast Cancer.

DBT is able to compute a three-dimensional image of a breast from several low-dose mammographies taken from different angles while the device is moving around the breast in a circular motion. This should overcome a significant limitation of Digital Mammography arising from the masking of breast cancer in a mammography image caused by overlying normal breast tissue.

This is a study conducted in several Austrian Breast Imaging Centers.
