Digital breast tomosynthesis exams produce fewer false positive results than standard two-dimensional mammography, though not substantially, experts shared recently in JAMA Open Network.
A total of 17 states have enacted legislation requiring private insurers to cover DBT exams, which has resulted in it being more widely recommended by radiologists.

Researchers are recommending a multi-modal approach to breast density education after survey results found that a "one size fits all" method fails many women.
The software was trained using more than 700 images and achieved a breast density classification accuracy of 89%, experts recently shared in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.
Women with breast arterial calcifications are 51% more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke, experts explained recently in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging.
In an exclusive video, Stacey Wolfson, MD, and Beatriu Reig, MD, MPH, from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, discuss the findings of their new analysis.
Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans.
"Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive datasets, saving valuable time," Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Tuesday.
