Breast Tomosynthesis

Breast Tomosynthesis is used in breast medicine to describe a structural finding, diagnostic technique, disease process or component of breast assessment.
Clinical relevance varies with age, symptoms, examination, family history and imaging characteristics rather than the term being interpreted on its own.
Mammography, ultrasound, MRI or image-guided tissue sampling may be selected to clarify suspicious or uncertain breast findings.
Management ranges from reassurance or surveillance for benign changes to surgery, radiotherapy or systemic treatment when malignant disease is confirmed.
Correlation between clinical examination, imaging and pathology is central to safe decision-making for abnormalities described as breast tomosynthesis.
