Abstract
Relevance: Breast cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm among women in our country. Mammography is currently the method of choice in breast cancer diagnostics. However, it has limitations associated with the imposition of breast tissue layers, which makes it difficult to identify lesions and leads to a misdiagnosis. Breast tomosynthesis is a tomographic technique in which the effect of tissue superimposition is significantly reduced due to layer-by-layer scanning. The purpose of this study was to review the capacity of tomosynthesis in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Results: The combination of tomosynthesis with a synthesized image is the best technology for screening because it offers the best combination of efficiency and radiation dose. Advantages include greater diagnostic accuracy due to both increased sensitivity and specificity, and a significantly less need for additional mammography projections (targeted mammography, targeted mammography with magnification). Conclusions: Tomosynthesis as a diagnostic method significantly exceeds the method of mammography. The higher informative value of the results provided by tomosynthesis reduces the frequency of false-negative and false-positive radiological conclusions
