Digital Mammography vs. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

WHAT: Digital breast tomosynthesis is better at finding cancers than digital mammography

MY TAKE: If you can affort it ask for digital breast tomosynthesis when getting your mammogram (some insurances don’t pay for it or the deductible is higher)
