What is the sensitivity of tomosynthesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mixed Info: Not a radiologist. There are several reports with different data on sensitivity in breast imaging. The major benefit seems to be better images and less recall for repeat studies. When used with digital mammography, one study showed 92% sensitivity. Not as good as ct scan when used for other body parts. Hope to see radiologist to weigh in.
