2-D Mammography Synthesized from Tomosynthesis: Strengths, Pitfalls, Artifacts

In this program, Dr. Sona A. Chikarmane reviews synthetic mammography (SM) image acquisition. In addition to reviewing artifacts on SM versus field digital mammography, Dr. Chikarmane also explores the weaknesses of SM and highlights the strengths.       ~objectives~  Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Apply results of breast care-imaging research to clinical practice. Appraise the potential of tomosynthesis innovations and advances to enhance clinical practice and problem-solving. Apply knowledge and skills relevant to clinical practice of breast care-imaging. Evaluate the results of breast imaging quality improvement measures to improve patient care. Evaluate practical approaches to breast intervention for adaptation to local practice.
