Step-and-shoot tomosynthesis (breast)
Step-and-shoot is a technology of image acquisition in digital breast tomosynthesis characterized by stopping scanning at every single angle during image acquisition.
Step-and-shoot technology displays advantages in microcalcifications conspicuity, spatial resolution, signal-to-noise ratio impr...
Article
Flying focus tomosynthesis
Flying focus is a technology of image acquisition in digital breast tomosynthesis characterized by a continuous sweep during shooting.
Sharpness in digital systems is determined by the modulation transfer function (MTF), which determines contrast transfer as a function of spatial frequency.

Snowstorm sign (extracapsular breast implant rupture)
The snowstorm sign on breast ultrasound imaging represents the presence of free silicone droplets mixed with breast parenchymal tissue causing characteristic homogeneously hyperechoic dense shadowing with dispersion of the ultrasound beam. It is considered the most reliable sign of extracapsular...
Article
Digital breast tomosynthesis
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is an imaging technique that allows a volumetric reconstruction of the whole breast from a finite number of low-dose two-dimensional projections obtained by different X-ray tube angles, with a geometric principle very similar to that applied in stratigraphic te...
Article
Radial scar
Radial scar, or complex sclerosing lesion, is a rosette-like proliferative breast lesion. It is not related to surgical scarring. Some authors, however, reserve the latter term to lesions over 1 cm 5.
It is an idiopathic process with sclerosing ductal hyperplasia.
Its significance is that it...
Article
