To reduce error rates, digital breast tomosynthesis, a new 3D imaging technology intended to make cancers more visible to the radiologist, is rapidly being introduced throughout clinics in the US. The widespread adoption of new 3D technologies has dramatically increased the data volume that radiologists must…
