Cover Story: Dense breast tissue complicates breast cancer detection using mammography alone. This study compared digital breast tomosynthesis with a novel standing automated breast ultrasound system in women with biopsy-confirmed breast cancer. Tomosynthesis effectively detected calcified lesions, while ultrasound provided superior visualization of non-calcified lesions without radiation exposure. The automated ultrasound system offers reproducible whole-breast imaging and integrates seamlessly into existing clinical workflows, making it a valuable complement to tomosynthesis, particularly for women with dense breasts. These findings support further studies on combined imaging approaches to improve breast cancer screening and diagnosis. View this paper
