Abstract

This pictorial essay demonstrates the variable appearances of ductal carcinoma in situ on full-field digital mammography, synthesized mammography, and digital breast tomosynthesis. The spectrum of intercase and intracase variability suggests further refinement of reconstruction algorithms for synthesized mammography may be necessary to maximize early detection of ductal carcinoma in situ.

Keywords: 2D mammography; 3D mammography; Calcifications; Digital breast tomosynthesis; Ductal carcinoma in situ; Full-field digital mammography; Synthesized mammography.
