“…Before the introduction of DM, it was debated whether the image quality and in particular the spatial resolution of DM was sufficient for detection of small calcifications [19]. It was concluded, however, that even though the spatial resolution of DM generally is inferior to screen-film mammography, the resolution is sufficient for breast cancer diagnostics [20,21]. The digital technique provided a number of desirable properties like increased contrast resolution compared with screenfilm mammography, fast transfer and simplified storage of images in PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) and image processing [22].…”

The purpose of this article was to provide an up-to-date review on the spectrum of new imaging applications in the practice of radiology. New imaging techniques have been developed with the objective of obtaining structural and functional analyses of different body systems. Recently, new imaging modalities have aroused the interest of many researchers who are studying the applicability of these modalities in the evaluation of different organs and diseases. In this review article, we present the efficiency and utilization of current imaging modalities in daily radiological practice.

“…High-quality full-field digital mammography (FFDM) addresses some of the limitations seen with SFM and is increasingly used for both diagnostic and screening mammography (16). In women with an nonhomogeneous or extremely dense parenchymal breast pattern, the detection of breast cancer is difficult due to the similar X-ray absorption of carcinoma to the surrounding normal dense breast tissue (17).…”

“…This advantage is especially important in women with a genetic predisposition for breast cancer, where intensified early detection programs may need to start from 25 to 30 years of age. As screening programs involve large populations of healthy patients, digital mammography should offer considerable benefits in terms of radiation dose, image quality, data transfer and data archiving (16,18). Two different technologies have been developed in digital mammography (17).…”

Comparison of standard mammography with digital mammography and digital infrared thermal imaging for breast cancer screening Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Screenfilm mammography (SFM) has been considered the gold standard for breast cancer screening and detection. Despite its recognized value in detecting and characterizing breast disease, mammography has important limitations and its false-negative rate ranges from 4% to 34%. Given these limitations, development of imaging modalities that would enhance, complement, or replace mammography has been a priority. Digital mammography (FFDM) and digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) are some of these alternative modalities.

Abstract ÖzetReview 152 IntroductionBreast cancer is the most common malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer death in women in the US (1). According to the American Cancer Society report on cancer facts, it accounts for about 30% of all cancers in women. Approximately one in every eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 90, with an absolute lifetime risk of 14.4% (2). In Turkey, the ratio of breast cancer is 24.1%, ranking first of all the cancers in women (3). The incidence of breast cancer has increased, and the estimated number of breast cancer cases was 44,253 in 2007 (4, 5). There is a geographical heterogeneity regarding breast cancer incidence and survival rates in Turkey. The incidence in Western Turkey (50/100,000 in 2000) is more than twice that of the Eastern part (20/100,000) (5-7). Five year survival rates for breast cancer are 85% in Western and 60% in Eastern Turkey (7). Breast cancer survival depends upon its earliest possible detection because survival rate increases with earlier detection with a possibility of complete cure. Breast cancer has a ten year survival rate for Stage 0of 95%; Stage I, 88%; Stage II, 66%; Stage III, 36%; and stage IV, 7% (8). Larger tumor size at diagnosis is also associated with decreased survival (9). Screening might produce greater benefits for early detection if it were more sensitive and specific. A wide variety of new technologies, including alternative imaging modalities, and improvements in x-ray mammography, are being investigated with the aim of improving early-detection rates. Many imaging modalities can be used for breast screening, such as X-ray; ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); computed tomography (CT); ultrasound; positron emission tomography (PET) scan...
