What new technique has better results than conventional mammography?
A new technique called dual-energy contrast enhanced digital subtraction mammography is reported to find cancers that may be missed by conventional mammography.
What size focal spot is used for magnification views in mammography?
A smaller focal spot size (around 0.1 mm) is typically used for magnification views in mammography. This helps to improve image sharpness and detail, especially when focusing on smaller areas of interest such as microcalcifications or architectural distortions in breast tissue.
Are mammography and mastography equally valid terms?
Mammography and mastography are often used interchangeably, but mammography is the more widely accepted term in medical contexts.
