Call-backs have always been a problem in mammography. They are a source of worry, added discomfort, well-founded patient complaints about the inefficiency of breast exams, and unnecessary cost. More than that, they call into question the credibility of an exam whose use depends on women’s belief in its value.
Data from a new study of more than 170,000 examinations using 3-D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) screening technology finds 3-D significantly more invasive cancers than a traditional 2-D mammogram.
