Abstract

Women with dense breast are doubly disadvantaged as they are both at higher risk of developing breast cancer and at greater risk that cancer will not be detected; that{u2019}s why suspicious breast lesions should be meticulously detected and managed . FFDM is accused of having a low sensitivity because the overlapping breast tissue may hide an abnormality and this increases the number of false negative results. On the other hand it is accused of having a low specificity because the overlapping tissues may give the impression of a false abnormality large number of false positive results. The results of our study showed that breast Tomosynthesis has a significant higher specificity and sensitivity higher in questionable breast lesions compared to Mammography. Thus, Breast Tomosynthesis showed higher diagnostic indices than Mammography
