Digital breast tomosynthesis
In digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), images are acquired using a specialized X-ray tube that moves in an arc around the breast. This technique captures multiple low-dose images from various angles, typically within a 15° to 60° range. These images are then reconstructed into 1-mm slices to create a 3D representation of the breast, allowing for detailed layer-by-layer evaluation. The number of images acquired varies depending on the size of the breast and the specifications of the equipment but generally ranges from 10 to 25 projections, captured within a few seconds.
