Initial clinical experience with contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Contrast-enhanced digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis are two imaging techniques that attempt to increase malignant breast lesion conspicuity. The combination of these into a single technique, contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CE-DBT), could potentially integrate the strengths of both. The objectives of this study were to assess the clinic...

Digital radiography with an electronic flat-panel detector: First clinical experience in skeletal diagnostics

November 1998 2 medicamundi X-ray examinations of the skeleton are, after chest exposures, the most frequently performed type of radiological examination, representing about 30 % of the total. With a few exceptions, projection radiography forms the basis for the diagnosis of skeletal disorders and, in most cases, provides the information for the definitive diagnosis. In traumatology, rheumatolo...
