Cone-Beam Breast Computed Tomography: Time for a New Paradigm in Breast Imaging

It is time to reconsider how we image the breast. Although the breast is a 3D structure, we have traditionally used 2D mammography to perform screening and diagnostic imaging. Mammography has been continuously modified and improved, most recently with tomosynthesis and contrast mammography, but it i...
