(1) Digital Computed Tomography (DBT) is the most modern imaging method, using three-dimensional (3D) technology, which provides the highest degree of accuracy in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Tomosynthesis technology provides the ability to capture high-definition images from different angles, in a single scan, which are analyzed in multiple, thin, high-resolution, one-millimeter slices. These images are synthesized and create a three-dimensional image of the breast. In this way, this examination becomes even more reliable, minimizing the risk of incorrect diagnosis. It is worth noting that the level of radiation resulting from the use of digital tomosynthesis remains at very low levels.
