  • DBT is recommended for women under 50, those with dense breasts, and for detecting spiculated masses and asymmetries.
  • DBT interpretation time is longer and dose is increased if 2-D images are obtained in addition to DBT images.
  • Synthesized reconstructed images may replace the need for a 2-D correlative view.
  • Dense breast tissue lowers mammography sensitivity and increases breast cancer risk.
  • Screening recommendations should consider life expectancy and comorbid conditions.
