Do automated breast ultrasound and tomosynthesis have an effective role in dense breast evaluation?

Abstract Background Mammography plays a great role in reducing breast cancer mortality as it is the standard method of breast imaging and screening. But the accuracy of mammography performance reduces in cancer detection in women with dense breast due to the summation of images and overlapping of br...
