The rapid adoption of 3D mammography and use of AI to address dense breasts

Interview with Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, a radiologist and managing partner at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York, chair of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Commission, and member of the Public Information Advisors Committee for Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) Communication Committee. She explains the rapid adoption of 3D mammogram digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) technology as a better way to detect cancers in patients with dense breast tissue. She also explains how artificial intelligence (AI) will likely play a growing role in the coming years as a second set of eyes to detect cancers or other anomalies in the vastly larger and more complex DBT imaging studies.
