Course Overview
Now that digital breast tomosynthesis has become a well-established breast imaging modality, radiologists are confronted with selecting the appropriate imaging choice from an even wider array of screening and diagnostic tools. This educational activity will describe how generated 2D images are reconstructed from tomosynthesis data, and will compare and contrast full field digital imaging to generated 2D images.

Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Evaluate the potential role of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for enhancing the screening and diagnosis of breast disease
• Identify the types of patients who many benefit from DBT
• Explain the technological and clinical differences between full field digital imaging, generated 2D images, and DBT
