Our journey toward implementation of digital breast tomosynthesis in breast cancer screening : the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Project
(2025) In Journal of Medical Imaging 12.- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose is to describe the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Project from the beginning to where we are now, and thoughts for the future. Approach: In two acts, we describe the efforts made by our research group to improve breast cancer screening by introducing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), all the way from initial studies to a large prospective population-based screening trial and beyond. Results: Our studies have shown that DBT has significant advantages over digital mammography (DM), the current gold standard method for breast cancer screening in Europe, in many aspects except a major one-the increased radiologist workload introduced with DBT compared with DM. It is foreseen that AI could be a viable solution to... (More)

It is foreseen that AI could be a viable solution to overcome this problem. Conclusions: We have proved that one-view DBT is a highly efficient screening approach with respect to diagnostic performance.
