摘要：Mammography is one of the most efficient imaging techniques for the early detection and diagnosis ofbreast cancer in woman. This study compares the clinical performance of three digital mammography system types in abreast cancer screening programme. 28 digital mammography systems from three different vendors were included inthe study. Full-field digital mammography optimizes the lesion-background contrast and gives better sensitivity, and itis possible to see through the dense tissues by altering computer windows; this may be particularly useful in youngerwomen with dense breasts. Computer-aided detection systems may help the radiologist in interpretation of bothconventional and digital mammograms. MRI has a role in screening women at high risk for breast cancer. Newerdiagnostic techniques such as sestamibi scans, optical imaging and molecular diagnostic techniques look promising, butneed more investigation into their use. Other upcoming techniques are contrast-enhanced mammography andtomosynthesis. These may give additional information in indeterminate lesions, and when used in screening they aid inreducing recall rates.
