Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to conduct an initial investigation into whether an alternative method of using 3D imaging might offer accurate diagnostic performance at a reduced patient radiation exposure in comparison to conventional 2D screening and diagnostic mammography and conventional 2D + 3D imaging methods.
Interventions
In addition to the standard care diagnostic imaging, all participants underwent two experimental acquisitions, in two projections (Cranio-Caudal and Mediolateral Oblique) on the breast of concern: one acquisition in Mode A (narrow angle acquisition) and one acquisition in Mode B (wide angle acquisition). The experimental imaging is compared to the standard of care imaging
